Help with translation

[harrywagner]

I posted this to the forum almost a year ago ( http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=20320 ) but forgot to ask for help with the translations. Can any of our Arabic speakers help with this? TIA!

Hi Haryywagner,
I wander if you know what is photographed ,its a very poor copy of an Ottoman Kilich,produced in Syria recently .Many of these flooded the european antique markets and even some of the most reputable european auctioneers
offered similar until some serious warnings were sent to them.
,I do hope you did not pay the price of an autantic one.

Yes, I believe this was made in the last quarter 20C, but did not know that when I bought it. Live and learn.
