saw a programme on an american tourist in porterbello market LONDON,being sold an article of ivory,and the trader saying everything before 1947 is ok ,but after is not,and that it has to be a hundred year's old.i was a bit stumped at that point,and that should he wish to take it out of the country,he would have to file form's in triplicate,talk about make it up as you go along{it stems down to political difference's in the current climate in the uk}.now im not knocking anyone making a pound,but what with the way of the african continent at the moment.do you think that a fund for ivory should be set up so as a percentage of the trader's sale should be pumped back into their own ecconemy's.would love to see some ivory artifact's that are attached to anything anyone's found detecting.am i knocking my fellow countryman NO,could be any country in the world.i think some archie's are peeved that the sri lankan's are selling antiquitie's on the open market at the mo,the only reason for that is,they got to pay top dollar like everyone else.hence the attention the country's getting.
