double makers mark ek1

[westgate]

hi every one

i recently got hold of a load of items of ebay like a job lot so to speak and in it was a boxed IC 1st class double maker marked L/52 MM 20
and a boxed kvk 1st class boxed..i no the kvk isnt that rare but how rare are double mm on an IC 1st class and what is the tru value of one of these items as it is in near mint condition and retains all frosting on the back and front....and do you think an item like this will rise in value in the long run????
i am intending to keep these item in my collection its just that i have never seen an IC 1 like this before
thanks for all your input in advance

ps how do you up load a few pic

Harley,

A Zimmermann in this condition is a desirable piece, yes, and will increase in value over the long run. Zimmermanns with their full frosting are very hard to find. Depending on which dealer is selling it, it could cost anywhere from between $550.00 up to $700.00, cased. Uncased, I would guess between $300.00 up to $450.00.

but i will post a pic of the frosting on the back its superb
th mm on the kvk is a no4 boxed and for what i paid it was a bargain there was loads of german ww2 stuff and will post in the correct part of the forum

the IC1 has a bit of spidering on the paint work but is free from rust and all the outher little nastys that go with it??
