Certificates of Authenticity
It has never been so important to have formal documentation that your fine instrument or bow is genuine. Since the late 1960's Don Robertson has had the privilege to buy, sell, restore, evaluate, and be custodian of innumerable fine instruments and bows. Internationally respected, his company's certificate of authenticity is a formal document that states the origin of your instrument or bow. This document is issued with photographs and a detailed physical description including measurements. It is signed by Robertson & Sons and is assigned an individual registration number. Our fee is 4% of the instrument's fair market value.
