This limited guarantee covers authenticity, major restoration or repair not described, counterfeits, reproductions, or major fabrications not disclosed in the description, up to the cost of the item paid by the buyer and not the prospective or future market value. The guarantee is limited to the information specifically stated in the Lead Title Description and not information perceived or implied. A buyer will have 14 days from the date of the sale to file a written claim with Montrose Auction, Inc.
