A. I agree. Take them to a museum. I would, if I were you... In the meantime, insure them for about $5,000.00 to $8,000.00 each. If they are indeed bronze and Japanese, lifesize and in good condition? and you are sure they are old? They are worth at least that much and I don't even have to see them to know that... Look for chop marks or makers signatures and bring them to an asian art specialist or a museum right away. Sounds like you have yourself a treasure! I envy you! I collect Asian artifacts and objects. Let me know if you are interested in selling them when you find out!

I don't want to be gone over Christmas Eve or day so it will have to be the first 3 weeks of December.
