    1786/1947: Group eleven documents with the first Royal Seal of Nepal in red called Lal Mohur used by all Kings including a very early usage from 1786 (= 1843 BS) under the reign of King Rana Bahadur Shah, which is much earlier than the year 1808 given by Hellrigl as the  first date of usage. The group includes also two documents from 1916 and 1947, when second, so called Zodiac seal was in use pointing to their concurrent use. The seal shows a double-edged sword, most literally the royal arms, between two crescent-and-balls and an inscription in devangari. A fresh and interesting lot.
