Hi Eric,

Hansen screwbacks are uncommon, although less-so since the "Hansen hoard" of a few years ago. This looks like a worn piece rather than one of the hoeard pieces though (most of those had rusty core issues and were 800 marked). That would add a bit of value to a collector in the know. The 938 examples are also a lot less common the the 800 examples, which are hard to find anyway, so that would add a bit as well. Still, the final price seems a bit high but that's eBay.

In summer, one Hansen on german eBay went for 1.200 euros. Then, after less than one month, it appeared again - and went for more than 1.200 euros again. I can´t recall if it was 800 or 938.
So, 871 dollars is good investment, IMO.

Wow, I guess I'm out of touch. If someone wants my 938 example for 1200 Euro, they know how to find me!!

the 800 as well as 935 are equally rare .

someone got himself a rare cross fore a good low price over there .


( beside that ,I notice that the prices are dropping on ebay )

Very nice cross, I just missed it...

I can´t disagree, I did some very good "kaufs", but there were also some items I expected to be far cheaper than they actually have been at the end. One example for all: http://www.ebay.de/itm/251192583900?...orig_cvip=true

So, Mike, if you have "the ladder" KMST as well, you are in the money!!!

Thanks Miro

Nice to know

The prices for the more common crosses have come down a bit.
But the hard to find crosses (like the Hansen) still bring a premium.
Much more than I comfortable spending.

lets hope the trend is staying .

Thank you Gents I appreciate the lesson. I thought I'd get my first EK1 in a decade for a couple of hundred with it being the holidays. Lol! I just liked it, no other reason.

just fore the record,,,,,,

sold that cross to a Dutch guy privately .

only to be turning up at 2010 on ebay coming with a nonsense expertise from Militaria Berlin

they even used my picture on that ebay auction.

just mention it so you guy's don't think I would ever need a
( or get me one ever) expertise from those militaria berlin dudes .

I would shoot me in my head first before I ever turn to those guy's .

So, this one was yours, Kay? Heh, coincidence... Maybe sometimes between 2010 and 2012 it came through Militaria Berlin and - as an item over 250 euros - it was supported with free expertise.
