I think you are right. It will not be the first time a wrongly catalouged item is repeatedly presented by museum staff; some are indeed highly educatated and very knowledgeable. On the over hand many have nothing else to go on except the previous generations erroneous labeling and legacies from the turn of the 19/20th centuries cataloguing, something I might add we all come across.
