If a duplicate is made of a bill, the holder shall make a declaration of the fact in the original bill.
Endorsement and guaranty may also be made on a duplicate with the same force and effect as those made on the original.
Article 119

If a bill contains the particulars referred to in the preceding paragraph, the holder may require the acceptor to surrender the original.
