:huh: Thanks for the suggestion i think we will take it in and have it looked at by an expert , we did take it to an antique show and were told they think it is worth alot possibly as much as 50,000 if indeed it is a meissen with a signiture in the coach but the evaluation costs only
$15.00and i'm not so sure they were real appraisers or really knew what they were talking about although when we walked in all the appraisers came to us ,they knew what we were carrying.or think they knew,anyway i will definatly let you all know how i make outbe it good or bad, i do know that crossed swords are copied alot but also know that our piece is very old and very beautiful,.. after the appraisal i will send picturesso you can see what i mean thankyou again for your help........laurie
