I believe that this information should be protected by limiting access ....ie members only and perhaps a 'minimum' number of postings before access. This would help limit viewing to potential fakers and perhaps more inexperienced collectors whom may 'unwittingly' attempt restoration on a 'significant' piece.

Kind Regards David

Salaams, Thats a fair one. It could be done like that or similar.. No one likes throwing away trade secrets thats true.. Minimum postings access is a clever addition. Perhaps we can get this up and running as a pilot scheme and reassess it after 3 months/ 6 months... Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
