oaks and swords on estand

[tom hansen]

Hello-

I am sure this does not come up very often. Would anyone who is familiar with oaks and swords care to comment on the piece on the estand?

Considering Kai Winkler has a set of oaks for $18500 euros, which is about $21,000, a cased oaks with swords I would expect would bring that much if real. Anyone with oaks and swords out there have any comments on this piece as well as the price? Thanks

[Peter Wiking]

I agree on that Tom. Its still a serius amount of money.

Cheers.

Is this a bad time to bring up the word restrikes?

A possibility that a $40 investment in the '70's is worth $33,000 today? That's some profit! I can't imagine a Type II example for this kind of money.

I'd say that this is the current market price for an original set. From what I can see they look fine, although as with everything one would be advised to have them in hand...

Thanks for the thread, Peter. It looks like a real landmine issue.

Oaks & Swords

I see the possé is forming for another lynching . . .

This is a "textbook" set of 900/21 Swords in an original case. I HAVE held them in my hand and checked them. The seller is only 3-4 towns away from my office. In fact I believe Igor (the seller - and this set) will be at the show this Saturday in New Jersey if any members would like to see them.

As to the price - I have an "extra" cased set in my collection in Germany which I am offering at the present time for 27.000,00 Euros (That is $33,507.00 today). I also sold another set recently for a little more than that amount. Detlev sold his last cased set (a few months ago) for 24.000,00 euro ($29,800.00) - I believe - because I bought them.

Rather than post speculation and blanket statements why not email our e-stand sellers and ask questions, or request additional photos. I know from my past experience selling on the e-stand this would be welcome - and much more in the spirit of the forum community.

If someone truly knows there is something wrong with an item on the e-stand; why don't you post a photo of a correct piece, you own, to illustrate to our members your concerns. IMHO this would be a lot more productive.

Rich, you're making a joke, right? I didn't read it that way at all. High end items will always come with caution and hesitation. Tom's first post was polite and asking. Chris gave a positive comment with good advice to hold them in the hand. Brian gave a real world warning that these are heavily copied back in the 70's. You also are very experienced with these. As for the other 90% of the membership here, we can only imagine and discuss (with envy).

Dear Lord, please let me win the lottery.

Thank you Rich, as always the voice of reason. I have grown more than a bit weary of irresponsible innuendos and blanket statements; they will no longer be tolerated. If someone has a accountable comment to make and would like to open up a discussion feel free. Otherwise, sit down.

Thanks Seba,

As usual, you are able to say something in one sentence that it took me a short story.

Best regards,

I think its not about if its a "fake" but instead if its a possible restrike.
I can only dream about awards like this and will never be able to own one.

Cheers.
