        Andreas Thies sold another KC/Swords set (21) last year? How many sets are there? Three?? Anyone know the provenance?

          Markus, this is the description given (regarding provenance) in the 2017 Andreas-Thies catalog when sold last year.

          I hope it helps

            Thanks. Appreciate it.

            Still, three different crosses from one houshold/recipient. A bid odd for me or has anyone else witnessed 3 full swords/kc sets before?

                    Didn´t John R. Angolia have a Bäke swords set in his collection?

                      In Kassel at the fair I heard that the current owner of the lot that is actual at the Hermann Historica auction was a gypsy who knew exactly what he had. He was also at other auction houses with the lot, before he has chosen HH. The reason: The last time when there was a PAB 100 auctioned, the result was € 34K. That's what I heard. Nowbody knew from where he had this items exactly, so the question is quite right if someone owns 3 full sets of swords.
