Erik had redesigned his collection for Nordia 2017. The whole collection is now online:

It is a nice collection. Love it. Please be attention with the page "1787 CATTANO". According to Mr. Paolo Vollmeier this cachets are fakes. In "Bolli e Documenti di Sanita" published by A.I.S.P. at page 340 they agreed with Mr. Vollmeier.
Dear Hedy,
Thank you for your hint! I also think that the two slits of the Saalfeld letter from 1746 (page 13/128) were done to seal the letter and not for disinfection. Please find attached a letter from my collection which show the strip of paper which will break if the letter is opened. What do you think?
Kind regards,
André
Dear Andre, you are right. The slit it is not of disinfection.
