<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midas1, post: 1970128, member: 21309&quot;]&quot;To get a document examiner to look at it, could be very expensive within itself. Besides the paper, the printer&#039;s ink is a very good way to determine age. Inks do age a certain way depending on composition. The composition can even date the document. . . &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree.&nbsp; For $195.00 it&#039;s not&nbsp; worth a professional forensic examination.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the website:</p><p>&quot;PRODUCT DESCRIPTION&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Beautifully engraved certificate from the Compagnie Des Installations Maritimes De Bruges issued in 1904. This historic document was printed by the Societe St Augustin and has an ornate border around it with a vignette of a shows an beautiful angelic woman holding a torch viewing the inland port of Bruges with 3 views of the city including an old harbor and the inner city. The company was formed in 1895 to construct the port installations and a canal. This item is hand signed by the Company’s Administrator and is over 110 years old.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>No way does it look like an engraved certificate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later this week there is a very large national antique show nearby I&#039;m sure several antique bibliophiles will be there.&nbsp; I&#039;ll take the certificate with me and ask them to check it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike</p><p>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
