Each was advertised with that provenance.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I ask for proof, invariably the dealer cannot provide it. I would be content with a photostat of a ledger or ideally something visual like maybe a rubbing or a collector’s catalogue of his holdings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead the dealer may say – at best – that it came from a family member disposing of an estate. Usually the dealer cites client confidentiality and does not provide any information beyond a ticket.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of which I understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if provenance is to be worth anything as proof against seizure, surely there must be something more substantial to the claim?.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please help me understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for listening …</p><p><br /></p><p>D[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
