Noted .. I heard that not too long ago in China some "experts" issued certificate on some antiques, which in turn was used as leverage to borrow money in the bank ... This age estimating thing is indeed very tricky ...

Valuations and/or appraisals on anything of value can very often be taken with a grain of salt, especially when theft and insurance claims are involved.

Nothing is what it may seem to be.
