Thanks, Mark, for your kind comment.
I do like them genuine, "in their juice" as we say in French "dans leur jus" (i.e untouched and non tooled).
Best

Pierre,

Did you pick those up locally?

If not, where did you get them?

Philippus is from NAC but Macrinus and Severus are from 2 different French dealers. When you are patient and you have spent years in building and keeping a strong relationship with selected dealers, you still find this kind of material. However, it is clear that (i.e vs 3 to 4 years ago) it becomes more difficult and more expensive.
