I was actually going to make a tongue-in-cheek comment to having these tested for a DNA match (already knowing the answer) but opted against being bothered. It's wonderful to hear that you actually went so far as to suggest it yourselves!

Of course, those on the other side of the argument would ask how any DNA could have survived the supposed alcohol soaking while in the hospital! Its antiseptic properties would have killed it all off!
+1 Agree the Museum did the right thing. Ideally the DNA test would be done if possible to authenticate it.
Regardless this info makes you pause and I would not want to bid on something that might not be as described (Regardless I am not a bidder)
