Sad story: 'Ottoman / Kurdish Jambiya' Did you buy it?

i also noted that the circumstances of acquisition form part of the paperwork when you turn in an item.

i would think that they would differentiate between looting from non-combatants or from a museum, and picking it up off someone who had just been actively engaged in trying to terminate the picker-upper.

as in everything, provenance and the paper trail are highly important.
