[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1230956, member: 307"]They knew very well that they would either be allowed to keep all or none of the ones surrendered. The authentication argument is a red herring. They probably wanted to sell them all. The reason that I feel the Langbord family has more is that they have more than a few and there are IIRC 17 more that are unaccounted for. If these 10 were legal to own, they could then let the rest surface. If you think about your 2 or 3 as a test balloon theory, my explanation becomes plausible if you think of it as them surrendering less than half of what they have. Even now that they have lost these, they can still sell the rest on the black market. I don't believe that anyone would surrender them all if they were unsure about their disposition especially if it meant losing all of them[/QUOTE]
