The COA pictured is included with this Sculpture. The Last pic is a page from an original 1973 Catalog I have on these figures. It will not be included unless several of these figures are purchased and it's priorly discussed. If you purchase three or more I guess we don't have to discuss, I'll throw in the catalog, if the catalog is no longer available you won't be reading this paragraph.
