Volkmar, "slip" or "scratched"??? "Slip" is I should say another term for a document, in insurance jargon. But this is my idea on "scratched", again insurance jargon, although "scratched" is more frequently used to mean "withdrawn" (as e.g. golfers withdrawing from a competition).
I think your remaining text would be likely to show which of the two meanings actually applies.
I could imagine "to scratch" as in "to sign with a scratchy (quill?) pen", which they would have used in the old days.

Volkmar, could it be a "cover note", which is a "slip" or "document" giving evidence of cover, until the policy itself is actually issued?

Try this site; it is the only one I've found to cover "cover note scratched", but the occurrences of "scratched" in it all seem to be quite consistent with "signed":

Note from asker:
| Thank you, David. "Slip", as I understand it, is really a kind of preliminary insurance agreement. I'm sure the experts know the "real" term. I don't think I could get away with just "document". |
