<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 2218482, member: 72790&quot;]I visited the Grand bazaar in Istanbul some years ago and saw many antiquities I would liked to have purchased for my teaching. But I had also seen Midnight Express. I found out, though from a dealer at the bazaar that a person could export an antiquity for cultural purposes and my being a history teacher qualified me for a certificate of export. I picked out an item and he filled in the printed blanks the appropriate information. I showed the artifact and the certificate at the airport and it was no problem. The swiss penknife in my back pocket turned out to be a different matter but that&#039;s a different story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
