1914 Sir Edward Goschen Royal Letter German Passage Belgium WWI Royalty Document:
$52.47

LOT-O84. For your consideration is a REPRODUCTION copy of a very rare and historically important c.1914 British royal letter from Sir Edward Goschen to Sir Edward Grey advising that a note has been delivered to the Belgian government by the German government, proposing friendly neutrality entailing free passage through Belgian territory... (e.g. start of the war).

This letter is a well crafted REPRODUCTION of the original, apparently printed on the exact royal stationary, to original specifications.

This was purchased for our collection, then later discovered to be a forgery upon examination. Sold as a novelty item. Document is embossed with royal British foreign office coat of arms under George V. Document measures 9.25 x 15.0. The royal stationary is original and authentic; however, the letter is not.

Based on research, the original was sold at Sotheby\'s years ago for approximately 10,000 USD!
