Box on Winkler

[Craig Gottlieb]

Guys, I'm thinking of buying thsi box to go with the mint S&L RK that I have in my personal collection. Given "recent" events, does anybody see any problems with this:

It's a bit hard to post pictures of this, but my photo (a screen capture) can give you the necessary item number to check for yourself. Thanks!

[Craig Gottlieb]

And for what it's worth, I've had original boxes, but can't really evaluate one, other than "in hand."

[Craig Gottlieb]

And for what it's worth, I can get it on inspection (and have it on hold) ... I just don't want to waste his time and mine, if they are faking these now, and this looks suspicious. And, I don't see anything at ALL wrong with it, by the way.

this might just be me but i wouldn't buy anything of this dealer unless it cost 50euro and less. im sure if you asked some of the forum members they might sell you a nice (100%) original

Hi Craig,
As the man above says i would also post an add on the Wanted Section of the Estand!
This Dealer sends me emails 3 times a week and i just delete them at this stage!

Best

The one Beufighter is linking to, at our E-stand is almost 1400$ cheaper then the one on Kai's webpage.

I can't say anything about one or the other being a copy or original, as I know nothing about packets.

Albert's is very nice.

Albert's is very nice.

Indeed, looks more complete then Kai's.
And Albert's seems "cheap" when you compare it to Kai's also, 1400$ is a lot of Money.

Thanks, guys. I've PM'd Albert. I have a STONE MINT S&L that I bought out of the wood work once upon a time, and this would nicely complete it.

As for doing business with Kai, I'd buy from Hitler if he had something for sale I wanted. I wouldn't relish the thought, but I would never look at an item, and think about the person from whom I bought it. But that's just me, and I respect your right to do otherwise.

I do thank the membership for looking at this for me!

With all due respect ( and surely treading on certain toes ) .... but 2950 € for a piece of cardboard ???

[Craig Gottlieb]

No, I understand. One man's trash is another's treasure. But a carton really "makes" an RK. You could say the same thing ... $5000 for a silly helmet? $1000 for a silly knife ?

[lordpage]

I am with Craig on this,cartons are a nice addition to a medal collection,I only have an EK1 but it really displays well seems remarkable any have survived.€2950 is a lot but worth it too complete a set and if I had an RK I would certainly be interested in this if real.Of course the high prices have attracted fakers I even found a '57 case and carton on a site recently for a fraction of the price which was considered a fake by the expert I passed the info to.So easy to age this type of thing I would like to know if this is real.Good luck with which one you go with.
