If your plan is to consign it or sell it DONT pay to have it authenticated yourself, the auction house will do it. If you want to keep it in the family thats another story. I still wouldn't pay the money as you will get a better opinion on here with the colelctive knowledge than any one of the companies can offer you and have peace of mind in knowing its real and not have to pay a couple hundred bucks or more to have people tell you what you already know.
Different people will offer an alternative opinion for sure but authentication for this item is almost certainly a waste of money unless you are hell-bent on selling it through ebay in which case that would help get top dollar but would be a poor decision as a venue to sell it (again my opinion).
