These guys were no fools as they did appraisals for the London museums and knew what the "experts" looked for when assessing authenticity. So their fakes passed all muster as they made sure all the boxes were "ticked". </p><p><br /></p><p>Loads of this stuff got sold to Europe and the States.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
