German legal documents are known for their elegant, formal styles that are difficult to reproduce on photocopiers. To make this possible, the original master copy is made by folding several hundred pages of high-quality paper in the required order and placed them into a protective cover made from acid free, archival, or photo-safe material. This special paper has been used for centuries and today you will find it referred to as “fanfold”. In the English language, fanfold means folding or unfolding, while in the German language, it translates into “pages per page”.
German legal documents are prepared in a similar way. Every legal issue that can be considered for the court in a German court is printed on its own unique manifold legal paper. The pages of this paper are arranged in the required order, with the original sheets positioned in one of the four corners.
Each sheet has been individually sealed with its corresponding seal. The duplicated original pages have been mounted onto unmounted backing sheets, which have been placed in a specially designed folder. The final result is a well-designed presentation, which will last for years if properly preserved.
It is a challenge for most attorneys and legal professionals to create such work. The first few pages need to be carefully constructed. Many original sheets were written with highly intricate calligraphy, which is difficult to reproduce today. Most law offices still keep these legal papers indefinitely as a part of their collection.
For people who are keen on collecting old German legal papers, there are some excellent places to search. You can search for dealers on the internet. Or, you can go to auction houses where you can buy these rare papers in good condition. You should be sure to examine the paper closely and see if it meets all legal requirements which are clearly mentioned in the shifted magazine blog. You should also make sure that the seller can provide a certificate of authenticity.
The original, undamaged German legal fanfold paper should always be kept as a part of your collection. Its beauty and rarity ensure its value. Many people will buy or sell only one or two of these legal pages per year. If you want to make sure that you get the best price possible for your collection, it would be worthwhile to search online. You may also find it useful to request copies of old German documents from collectors so that you can examine them in detail.
