Abstract

The examination of cachet impressions can be an important factor in determining the authenticity of a document. This paper explores the question of how cachets of different materials leave impressions and how the class characteristics of these impressions can be differentiated from individualities. Finally the authors deal with some of the aspects of forgery and the weight of evidence in formulating opinions.

Keywords:
