     and which have been duly executed by the proper party or
     parties, and which have been acknowledged to and certified by a
     qualified officer without this State but in the United States, a
     territory or insular possession of the United States or the
     District of Columbia, notwithstanding the absence of any
     authentication, affirming the official character of such officer
     in conformity with the laws of this Commonwealth in force at the
     time such instrument was acknowledged, are hereby severally made
     as valid and effective in law as if each such instrument had
     been fully acknowledged, certified and authenticated. The record
     of each such instrument, or the original of such instrument
     itself, shall be admitted as evidence in all courts of this
     Commonwealth, and shall be as valid and conclusive evidence as
     is such instrument had been in all respects acknowledged and the
     acknowledgment certified and authenticated in accordance with
     the then existing law.
