A couple of potential buyers have asked about authenticity and the seller replies:

 

Q:Does this have any sort of documentation/provenance?

A. Sorry no however we guarantee their authenticity... they are absolutely genuine and happy for you to have them checked by an expert of your choice.  

Q: Hi, is there any proof of authenticity? I have quite a collection of artefacts dating up to 3000BC. I always ask for proof. Thanks

A. We understand however we guarantee their authenticity... they are absolutely genuine and happy for you to have them checked by an expert of your choice.
