I spoke with the seller. He told me that he had purchased them on ebay about 3 years ago and he claims they are authentic. I asked for photos of the box and a few more of the frames in better light. He replied that he would get back to me. however the thing that bothered me the most about our conversation was that he left it up to me to decide their true authenticaticty as he purchased them as described authentic. I'd rather spend 4000 and have a garenteed pair from a trusted collector here than pay 1500 for a pair that's up in the air.
