"Sorry, it's page 56...
I'm very grateful for your help anyway. I rode some terms on Drouot, nothing especial, they just say I can cancel the sale if it's a forgery... As the French law says !

"The auction you linked does not have a page 111 and lot 111 is not it either. The terms are not helpful to you - to them certainly. Not a single wotd about authenticity :("
"Thanks to you, I made a research and found this : Sale
The "MM" piece is on page 111"
"NOT stupid, new is all. There must be a guarantee or terms somewhere I would think. That Drout site seems a bunch of dealers - do you know who you bought from and what thier polocies are?"
"None.... They just wrote it... And a story about the piece : the producer of the film Gentlemen prefer Blondes would have offered it to a technician during the assembly in the presence of MM… Anything in fact! Nothing is coherent in…"

"No paperwork at all? Nothing? A receipt to show where you bought it and when? I would want to know the Terms. You can ask for them. I was hoping to find a loophole - if possible.
Your English is fine by the way :)"
"I have no paperwork but the law "only". Have to prove that it's a false, but the seller and the auction house are also responsable of the fault, furthermore they wrote it's a true one without any doubt about it. The problem in…"
"The website has no Terms? Obviously, at this point, avoid. Have you any paperwork from the sale? Drout is a group of different auctions from different sources/dealers."
"Elodie, have you talked to the auction house about it?"
"Elodie,
