And what , Doc y cop is on a stick ?

What exactly kind of docking y cop you mean , Eriksson? There are a) a detailed provenance (composed an investigator by the owner) and b) written confirmation of the last owner , whose family stick together with letters of Berlioz Balakirev Balakirev and stick itself was kept for several decades. You may want to get confirmation living in Kiev granddaughter book. Volkonskaya . Laboratory examination of items not carried out - if necessary, it is not difficult to do. But the authenticity of the items is not in doubt , as well as their historical and cultural value . Balakirev's overarching message was in excerpts published in 1913-1914 in the " Russian Antiquities", never fully published .
