Northern Bank missing signature
This £10 note dated 1 Jan 1940 should have been hand signed - four different signatures are recorded in PMI. This example (currently on ebay) has no signature at all - genuinely unsigned or over-vigorously washed??

Re: Northern Bank missing signature
I think I see the faint outline of the residue of the signature, washed out, just below the RN of Northern.

Re: Northern Bank missing signature
There also appears to be light staining in the signature area consistent with ink smudging. This is more easily seen at higher contrast.

Re: Northern Bank missing signature
Thanks. My gut feel is that the note has been washed, yet the corners seem sharp. They usually go a bit fuzzy after a wash (so I'm told!)
