Tsitiata It is interesting ...))) But why are there just clowns that were sitting there among the experts in Kiev? As it is hard to believe.

operator, where there are people who receive remuneration for such examination. And the responsibility - zero. Self-respecting expert would not Lama fund rules Archipenko. It was this fund, because Francis all very tightly holds in his hands. And, incidentally, we must pay tribute to her, very properly does. At the expense of clowns - well, yes, it is. Just laugh ... :)

Well if there are documents (certificate) which indicated the original format. Let's say "1 of 8 plus 4 (AR) plus" NS " - It original.Vse rest - a priori "gadgets" do not represent an investment value and nor expertise

unauthorized - I'm such a gentle manner called forgery. Massive fraud, cast Brooklyn Wine Library TV.
Even when life Archipenko produced souvenir ebb at the request of prestigious museums. But this was the agreement of the author, relevant documents and identification marks. Sculptural values in them was not. Sold as souvenirs.

All the remaining lifetime of the copy (ebb) were performed in strict compliance with all rules and have this relevant paper.

With Archipenko all much easier. And almost all recorded in the archives of the Fund.

I agree. Do not read the document in full (font). I was sure that in such an evaluation is an indication of the documents on tirazhu.A so get-Filkin charter.

Old bronze, using the oxidizing means. (If it is bronze in general. In most cases, the metal surface is covered with a bronze).

That is, in prestigious museums are "Souvenirs" without sculptural values "?! However, documented in the fund Archipenko? Class! You yourself believe in something that you wrote!?

And if the "souvenirs" documented in the fund over time, become a museum treasures at a price several hundred thousand dollars, a priori, all that was cast to 64, is valuable! Here I am and he himself answered my question: why such a range of prices! Everything in the archives - hundreds or even that there is Tens? I right - or Adjust AMP-ta!
