Thanks Jerome.
Provenance is recorded for a few of the items (mostly "near
Carnuntum", which is Bad Altenberg in Lower
Austria, because I know some detectorists who
work on farms in that
area).
If it is not recorded it is because I do not know it for certain.
Provenance is not worth recording unless it is accurate. Many of the pieces in my
collection came in a large lot sold by a
German vendor who was
selling it for the estate of a deceased collector. No records of where he got them. Recording them as "
German" would be misleading as there is no indication that that is their origin just because the collector lived there.
