Wasnt there a box that was discussed just a few days ago or last week with pitted or dotted surface and it was deemed to be questionnable? was that a confirmed fake?

[Michael Fay]

You don't put a death date on a book box, IMHO..

If by your oblique remark you mean the box I dared to show in this thread.
Then you are correct.
the box is not necessarily for a book.
It is more in the line of somthing a bit rarer than an ordinary SS MK box.
All this was discussed in detail already, right here in this forum.
I put it up as it has basically the same configuration-and thought-quite foolishly that by posting it here it would facillitate an update on how many boxes are out there, as the original poster was attempting.

At this point, I suspect this thread's original purpose is dead.

In other words: what was the price for a Ritterkreuz when you started collecting and how many collectors were really willing to pay the asked price?

Hello Thorsten.

I get what you are saying, but here's how prices changed....


1982.......RK £500 GBP MK Box £250 GBP
2009.......RK £3000 GBP MK Box £2000 GBP


Pretty comparable, I think!

I presume you are referring to this thread.

On an aside, the search function is just as easy to use as posting redundant inquiries.

wolfslair!

Please show us your casket - and keep off any ranting.

This is not a snobistic club, it´s discussion forum.

Otherwise: how should newbies like you listen and learn?

Maybe a little too bold, but I tend to agree.

I agree.
Everyone has an opinion.
This thread was to take a look the world of SS wood boxes and make a tally.
But this thread is dead.

Does any one think anyone else feels this thread even deserves to have them post their photos?
No.
When opinions get given with a bad attitude by folks who have no explanation or evidence to back it up and dont use their real names...but hide behind a fake name alias.

C'mon, if you use a fake name, at least polite...or a true expert. otherwise you kill the thread.
I would love to learn more, from someone who actually knows somthing.

Hey Thorsten B.!
My sample is photo #8 so I guess I have a right to voice my opinion, even if it is blunt and to the point.

[RUHL13]

There is alot of items with no period photo evidence, but there real.
Off topic abit, but remember the Panzer identification flag with the Baltic cross, alot thought those fake..then 1 photo appears....same goes with these boxes/ caskets ....Maybe these were kept in the desk drawer until marrige?
A seperate room with pre wedding pagan ritual...who knows?

[Thorsten B.]

I know enough to keep off - have fun.

3 buddies

I know enough to keep off - have fun.

While he succeeded to kill the thread, I thought I show what can happen when 3 buddies meet.

[Thorsten B.]

In all threads my input is support for the serious collector rather than innuendo - it tells its own tale if that´s a pity for some characters.

And yes: very nice meeting!

By the way: which Mein Kampf copies are you interested in?

[wolfslair]

Thorsten B, what innuendo is it that you feel or by whom ?
Not quite sure what you are aiming at? Might be the language barrier.

Guys, what I dislike most is that either side won't stop !
