<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8010048, member: 110350&quot;]People say he has a good reputation, but where does he get them all if they&#039;re all authentic? It&#039;s not as if genuine ushabtis are found in Dubai, where he&#039;s located, after all! Are they smuggled out of Egypt, which I don&#039;t believe permits the export of antiquities any longer? I know that many, many thousands were sent out of Egypt when it was legal to do so, but how do so many of them find their way to this one dealer?</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought all three of mine between 30 and 40 years ago, all from well-known dealers in the NYC/NJ area (Harmer Rooke, Royal Athena, and Arnold Saslow). It&#039;s no guarantee of anything, but I&#039;ve had all my antiquities appraised for both authenticity and value, once in 1987 (for those I already had at the time) and again last year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
