Metropolitain Museum of Art, N.Y. to review the gold and silver urn of King David 1

[Sakhu]

Yes, it's true, the solid silver and gold urn with King David's 1 coat of arms (a 3 piece urn) has been found on ebay among other historial silver artifacts of Scotland from the Royal Canmore years between 1070 to 1124.

I have written up a full report for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City along with the lab report on the silver. It will be reviewed sometime in the New Year.

Here are some links via the web to read

The thing to keep in mind is that the "Cabinet" where James V1 of Scotland was born was actually a silver cabinet. Need I say more?

The strange thing to consider are these facts.


Saint Margaret's chapel was build some 20 years after her death, ordered by King David 1 of Scotland to house her precious belongings.

The fire of Edinburgh Castle in 1830 was started mysteriously in the "Cabinet" where James V1 was born to Mary, Queen of Scots.

The article discussed in this story was an infant's remains inside an oaken coffin. The actual coffin was reported as silver.

Why was there never a formal report on the remains behind the wainscot of the Cabinet?

Why was the castle garrison so quick to order the opening of the cabinet sealed?

Why has it been since this date Edinburgh Castle garrison's have been reluntant to talk about this discovery to visitor's of Edinburgh Castle.

Things to also consider.

Mary, Queen of Scots, ordered for the relics of Queen Saint Margaret a week or so prior to giving birth to James V1.

Mary, Queen of Scots also ordered for her midwife, also named Margaret a week or so prior to giving birth to James V1.

Weeks prior to Mary giving birth to James V1 of Scotland Saint Margaret's chapel was cleared out to make way for gun powder.

Facts: Corbell holds claim to the hallmarks on the silver

The C&Co on the silver is actually a C&C for the ancient father and son team who served the royal Canmore clan for 52 years.

A second hallmark with a slash through the first C proves other silver to be copies done under apprenticeship by the son. Therefore hallmark of the son exclusively. Proving infridment of Scotland's ancient royal treasures. Wow, such a web they weaved.

The letter O is actually a hexagon. A mark to tell the difference between Maker(s) and deacon of EP.

The castle triple tower on rock proper embattled is the ancient town mark of Edinburgh which existed since Malcolm 111 and Saint Margaret's life on earth.

Edinburgh became a burgh in 1130, as proclamed by David 1 of Scotland.

Saint Margaret and King Malcolm 111 was forced out of their home in Alnwich Castle by the English. Therefore taking up royal residence at the Edinburgh Castle.

Edinburgh grew up from the foot of the castle.

Margaret fed, and gave money to the poor who came to the castle door, and many other wonderful tings along with her kingly husband, Malcolm 111.

Facts to consider:

Electroplate was invented originally by a student from Birmingham, Named Faraday in 1833, three years after the Edinburgh Castle fire.

In 1836. G.R. Elkington applied for a number of patents for an improved method of gilding copper, brass and other metals or alloys of metals hby electrolysis.

In 1840 he took out a patent for depositing silver by electrolysis, this discovery he made in collaboration with John Wright following work Wright carried out for the London silversmith Benjamin Smith.

Fact: ALSO in 1840 Elkington created an extension of the electroplating process called Electrotyping that deposits a layer of metal on cast taken from originals. This process allowed the accurate reproductions of intricate and complex designs such as shields, (coats of arms) plaques, sculptures, and carvings.

Fact, a sticker found on a case with these ancient hallmarks is the original 1925 logo of Argo & Lehne Corp.

Fact: Corbell & Company only claim to be in existance since l949, London, England, and 1951 Los Angeles when he immigrated to America from London.

Fact: Corbell claims silver reproduction from his company only goes back 35 years, that would make it l968.


Fact. We have a 43 year difference discovery, don't we?

Fact: This new discovery now takes Corbell company back even further.

Fact: Dickey Argo founder, or ARgo and Lehne
Corp. immigrated from his Native Scotland in l902.

Fact: Started up company in l925.

Fact : Sticker dates back to l925.

Fact: Founder of Argo and Lehne parts with original silver dating back to queen Margaret's wedding 1070 to King Malcolm Canmore 111. Note Not knowing the EP was the (assay master) not electroplate. Thus taking the silver from his native Scotland to American in l902, thus pushing back Corbell & Company into the 19th century, and closer to the invention of electroplate.

Fact: Website of Corbell boast about having dies which date back over 150 years.

It is reasonable to understand that electroplate got it's name from the hallmark on the silver.

It is also reasonable to understand the patent of Elkington on Electrotyping was used to copy the coat of arms from the silver service of King DAvid 1 corination of 1124. However, since it would mean giving up ownership of the treasure to the crown, as they thought, but were wrong to think that way, invented false identifications on the silver. Such false identifications invented were taken from famous silversmits of the 19th century including Digby Scot and Benjamin Smith for the coat of arms in 1806. However the design is out of date, way out of date for the 19 century, lacking helms, supporters, and other major items.

Although, for the protection of these ancient objects I will not describe them. I will say that further claims on the silver which Corbell has given do not match up with the information provided to me by the Royal Victoria & Albert Museum. The Wedding goblets done for Queen Victoria by Charles Fox in 1845 as described by this company is historically incorrect to begin with. As Victoria was married in 1840. Furthermore, the museum took a look at this claim and denies any thing to do with Queen Victoria.

I am trying to restore the history of these beautiful stolen artifacts from Edinburgh Castle, but I am running into text book curators in Scotland National Museum who took any stupid company name off the top of their heads, and looked at the EP as electroplate. I hope this will not become an embarrasment for the National Musuem of Scotland. I am willing to let them re think their position on this to save embarrasment for themselves and their jobs.

The people of Scotland deserves more knowledgeable curators to safe guard their history. And need to get away from text book interpertations and be able to think logically, and independently. How many seconds it took for the curator, which was suppose to be the museum's best man for the job, I can only imagine. Surely no gluecose was used for the job in this man's brain.

YAWN

Here he/she goes AGAIN.... More fantasy than Walt Disney...

Hey, ho......Oh well, ‘tis the season for the surprise return of acquaintances, I suppose.

Well, the whole thing reads like gibberish sprinkled with apostrophes*, but this bit is quite fascinatingly strange.

*Yes, misquoting (I *think*, Mencken) but I am sure he would not have minded.

There is no way for me to down load my files to this form. But for any one really interested in proving this silver is a fantasy please e mail me and I WILL PROVE THEM WRONG WITH THE PHOTO'S OF ALL THE SILVER. AND THE URN. I have two U.S. business partners who are helping me collect, total strangers who I met over the web. One is a private investator who himself has busted up a fraudlant activitiy of 650 million embazzlement by a major corporation. Between the three of us we have aquired over 130 pieces, from 6oz silver each to 41 oz of silver each. Including some actual electroplated fakes which magnets just love to stick to. I also have e mails from Argo and Lehne to share for the interested. As well as e mails from the new owner of Corbell who wants me to talk with him on the phone since Feb of this year. He could have written and brushed me off by the way, but he choose not to. And He has taken down his original web site from last year. Which I saved on my files. In his new web site he omited the C&C design from the silver, and Just named his new site Corbell. Strangely, he has moved from LA. California to Scotsdale Arizona.........
Is this ironic or what?

Gonnae tell me - izzit jist me, ur is this poster soundin mair weird than the last spurt fae Sakhu's pen?!!!

Mad Mental Rules.....

[Celyn]

I'd say it has a certain frenzied tone. But I am not planning a trek through the highways, byways and scenic detours of that single paragraph disseration until some time when I am wide awake.

Tomorrow is another day!

Sakhu You seem pretty happy at the chance to do business with "total strangers who I met over the web". Don't you view that as potentially risky for you? Just a thought.

Bollox. The Edinburgh hallmark was adopted in the very late 15th century, and was not used prior to this. So there's a good 400 year gap between the provenance of your alleged 'artefacts' and the truth.
