Bonhams
Banksy (British, born 1975)
Happy Choppers
Screenprint in colours, 2003, on wove, inscribed 'AP/DN' and numbered 673/750 in pencil, published by Pictures on Walls, London, the full sheet, 700 x 500mm (27 1 /2 x 19 5/8in)(SH)
Footnotes
This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Pest Control Office.
I've got zero to do with this sale by the way. I'm just amazed at the sheer volume of mis/disinformation spread here.

POW were all over the place so ended up sending out the same numbers twice, then when it came to authenticate one would end up being an AP and labelled AP/DN meaning duplicate numbers. As far as Iโm aware there are signed and unsigned of these but far more unsigned obviously.

The framing on the other hand, is unforgiveable. Pink, Gold, and Black. Woof.
Bit of a dog's dinner that one Looks fine, and easily restorable. You'd be shocked at the condition of most Banksy Prints. These are like 20 years old and sold for 150. This print looks in fine condition and i think it's a great price. The framing on the other hand, is unforgiveable. Pink, Gold, and Black. Woof. |

I think the lines and circles are not on the COA, but in the photo to ensure that the COA cannot be copied. |

OP states this was bought in 2004, so cost would have been ยฃ74.99.
Whilst it's clearly the same name signing this COA, the signature looks a little different compared to the one on mine.

I agree itโs different to the ones Iโve had, but who know what went on there and back nearly 16 years ago it could well be a plausible signature/COA. Not sure about where the hinges are placed on the backing board??
Nice piece and a decent price

That's the issue with COAs. They're usually easier to fake than the print they represent (or at least, easy enough to dupe someone with).
The number on the print and the number on the ripped Tenner should, in theory, be quick for a buyer to check with POW though.

This is a 2003 print and not a 2004 print.
I have one - and this is clear on the COA.
And all my COAs have H: & W: (H: 70cm x W: 50cm) in the size section, but not sure how consistent it is across all COAs.
To the seller - I would contact PC and get them to certify this was a mistake on the COA. Hopefully all is good and you have an authentic print but I would double check.

Does your COA read 'Happy Chopper' or 'Happy Choppers'? I swear one I used to have read 'Happy Chopper' but maybe it's another inconsistency of Pest Control. |

Iโm not saying itโs impossible but highly unusual, and I wouldnโt buy this without separate confirmation from Pest Control.
