Re: [Ancientartifacts] 'Good' Seller with poor COA

Hi Stephen,

Who is the dealer?

I went through this very issue with Edgar Owen concerning a Han horse
which was very heavily restored and he refused to take it back even
though his website at the time had the same return policy and he had
described it as unrestored.

It took months and a threat of a lawsuit to finally get a resolution
where I still lost a lot of money.
