Context (Amendments / updates)
There are accessioning inconsistencies around this group of goldweights. It seems to have been entered twice in the Z register, once as Z 25410 A-L and again as Z 25413 A-L. All the shields found were marked Z 25413, so this number has been retained as the main IDNO for the group. In addition, both entries in the Z register record 12 objects (A-L) while the catalogue card for Z 25413 only records 10 (A-J). No catalogue card could be found for Z 25410.
