The author of the copy e-mail below, is bringing to the attention of the
mining history fraternity a web site that contains forgeries in support of
authenticating mining artefacts that are fakes.
The valuation certificates from the Birmingham Assy Office, on this site,
are forgeries. Enquiries at that Office resulted in the following replies -
"Good morning Charles,
"SafeGuard was not part of the Birmingham Assay Office until after February
2000. Richard Taylor no longer works for SafeGuard. The documents we viewed
this morning although they appeared to be signed by Jim and Richard were not
their signatures, and the format of the documents were incorrect.
I spoke to Jim Potts yesterday and he can definitely confirm that this is a
forgery. Aspects of the document are correct. Jim has specifed however that
this exact layout was never used. The photos did appear on headed paper but
on plain paper separate to the text. No details would have been handwritten
on the document.
PJS did have an embossing stamp which appears to be simillar or the same as
the one on the photograph.
Once again, if we can be of any further help, please let us know.
Thanks Carla"
The moderator of mining-history should maybe question the author of the
e-mail about posting misleading information on this much respected and
informative e-mail circulation facility.
