Opinions needed on several 57-items

[George L]

For 120E, I'd say it's worth taking a shot at this grouping.

Hi George, I share your opinion about this one .... I've purchased them. I'll post pix once it arrives here in Zeebrugge !

[Matthieu]

Hi, found this one on e-bay. Seems to me an early issue. For all you PAB fans out there ... go for it !

If I get the facts correct, this one is nice 2nd pattern .... but 750 € ???

Very nice cross, absolutely outrageous price! Our dealer friends keep pushing the envelope on 57er prices don't they?

I don't think all dealers, IMO it's just Weitze who keeps pushing ALL his prices.

Ahum .... gonna need ( yet again ) your input on this one ... picture is all I got. My guess is S&L ???
The case seems to be a modern one, the DKiG itself looks ok ( with enamel ring, good riviting, and from what I can see good hinge & catch ... ).
Priced at reasonable 257 € .... Thanks up front for the well-needed input !

Edit : have requested additional pix ... dont want to spend my money on "modern stuff".

[Matthieu]

During my nightly searches I came across this one .... I think , but want do you guys think ?

[Matthieu]

Hinge, catch & riveting looks ok to me ... The catch seems to be "sunken" into the backside.

[Mike Yokum]

Hey Mathijs!

Sure looks like it has possibilities. Can you find out if the red ring is enamel or paint? Also, try to find out if the hinge block is solid or open. The latter is less important as some 60's pieces have open hinge blocks. The key is the red ring. I think you just might be onto a good one.

Yer bud,

Hi Mike, seems some dealers / vendors are not interested in replying their mails. Too bad .
But the price is not soo bad, maybe its worth a gamble ... or maybe not, have not made up my mind yet.

[Mike Yokum]

You better buy it before I do!!!

[Matthieu]

Hi boys, today I took a few gambles in life ... I purchased the DKiS posted above for a good price ( even if repro, will not loose any money ).
Also I bought this heavily worn EK1 & an Airgunner Luftwaffe badge. Only thing to do now is wait for the postman to ring my door.

[Nigel N]

hey Mathjis, loving that EK1 good early S & L, with a great look to it!! might have been to a few veterans rallys, it certainly been worn, and thats all part of its history!! cant wait to see more pics when you get it, and the other pieces too -Nigel
