English term or phrase: authority on valued items
Was genau ist damit gemeint? Es ist der Text eines Wahrsagers... und dieses such as this? Ein weiterer Bezug vorher oder nachher wird nicht hergestellt... Hilfe!

You have in your possession, something in your home that is of great value. It is of little use by you, and its value is wasted. I want you to look for this object and you will find, upon submitting it *to an authority on valued items such as this*, that is of great worth to you.

Experte für wertvolle Gegenstände


Explanation:
So wie "authority" mehr Expertise voraussetzt als nur "specialist", ist imo "Experte" zutreffender als "Fachmann".

Example sentence(s):
  • Frank C. Möller ... Experte für museale Roentgen-Möbel ... ordnet wertvolle Gegenstände ihrer Epoche zu ...
