Our Certificate of Authenticity (C.O.A.) has been carefully designed to set the international bench-mark for such documents, and to give you the lasting peace of mind that each item purchased from our Antiquities Collection is 100% authentic and guaranteed to date from the period described.

Upon issue, each C.O.A. is produced individually to contain a full description of your artefact, a set of photographs, your name and address as proof of ownership, and a cross-reference to your invoice number to enable us to photographically archive your purchase in our permanent records. When this procedure has been completed, the document is signed, dated twice and shipped securely with your order.

Due to the complexity of these documents, we charge a small $5.00 USD fee to cover the cost of production which will be added to your final invoice amount if required. (Unless otherwise stated in the listing).
