Buyer Beware!
If you do buy something you suspect isn't "clean," have it authenticated or at least examined by a reputable local dealer whose expertise is unquestioned. But remember, even museums get conned.

And report to the authorities any item stolen from you, and any item you've purchased that is a fraud or may have been stolen.
