Comment:
Old German handwriting, old German spelling, the fact that at
the time Germany did not exist and the document was issued in
Bavaria then a kingdom ruled by King Ludwig II. (who ruined the
state finances by building a number of splendid castles, so popular
today with tourists) will be of additional particular interest.
