First "Honest" Sale Of A K&Q Ritterkreuz?

[Leroy]

Five years ago (before Dietrich's good work) this Ritterkreuz would have been sold as real. Last week, it was sold on Weitze's site for € 850,00, as a reproduction.

A first for him.

He sold it as a nice repro from the 80's.

You gotta be kiddin' .

[Ludwig]

Can´t see how it could have been sold as an original. Ever.

[kriztof]

850 is still too much to pay for it but better than 12k

[Ludwig]

Why should anyone pay 12 k for a fake?

[Flemming]

Why should anyone pay 12 k for a fake?

Because it was once considered a real one (by some)

Oh.

[Don D.]

If I was the new owner of this cross I would send it to Dietrich for a hands on inspection.

Just saying......

Wowww

For me it looks like a restored original... from the pics it looks repainted and some of the original paint can be seen under the new on the front. It looks like it also have the flaws, that the late K&Q has.... wrong??? or have someone made a very nice deal????????
