I agree with Jon - my own personal opinion (not wishing to cause offence) is I would not have any of them in my collection. I am becoming increasingly sceptical and prefer to save more money to be selective and buy attributed items with full history. If you are going to spend good money then there is no substitute for research. Acknowledging no one, and no forum, has all the answers. The mantra during my apprenticeship was 'if in doubt leave it out' - ultimately you have to satisfy your own doubts.
Sorry for the negativity
Mike
