I found other reference. Avi [Ara] Chekmayan, a New Jersey editor, actually found this resin Maltese Falcon at a flea market in 1991, although it took him five years to authenticate this bird to the auctioneers' specifications, because there was a lot of controversy about it.
Našao sam još materijala. Avi (Ara) Chekmayan, urednik iz New Jerseyja, pronašao je ovog Malteškog sokola od smole na buvljaku 1991. No, trebalo mu je pet godina da dobije potvrdu autentičnosti prema specifikacijama aukcijske kuće, jer je predmet pratila kontroverza.
