Found this looking for the ad with the EK2 for sale as a KC . Oaks , loop and ribbon seller states are early Juncker . I am not well versed in them but some here are . The epay # is 161273633662 . Asking price just under $21,000 . FWIW the EK2 listed as a KC disappeared after I posted it here ? Maybe coincidence but it is not in the sold or completed lists . I did not record the ad # and it was requested via PM so I will do better in the future . Dave

These appear (you really need an in-hand look) to be original pre-LDO Juncker Oakleaves. The '900' mark is the same as seen on later products. These have been for sale for a least several months.
The ribbon is real, but not the really early ribbon associated with Juncker, which had yellow threads interspaced among the red, giving the ribbon an "orange" appearance.Comment

They are genuine Juncker Oakleaves. They are not IMHO the first Oakleaves as the seller is stating. This honor goes to the 900-only marked Godet 1. Type which are also the only official awarded type.Comment

Anything is worth what somebody is willing to pay. I would not pay that number, not even close, more well below $ 6,000.- or even less.

21 000$??? That's insane.
Will never get sold for that price.
You can buy 900 21 swords for that price.Comment

Thank you Dietrich,
I have seen another set currently on offer by Iqbal Robert here: http://www.collectortocollectormilitaria.com/ for $9250. Is this a more acceptable price?
Oakleaves are not easy to find. They are quite rare, I presume?
Again many thanks!Comment

Yes, but where? I am looking for a good set...
I just noticed that they lowered the price to circa $13.500. Is this still too much money?
Many thanks!Comment

I've been in touch now with the seller on Ebay. He is willing to sell for £7.000. This makes 9400€ or $10.800... Still expensive or acceptable at this price?Comment
-
Still too expensive IMO.
When you buy the oakleaves for that price, you will have problems getting your money back in the future.
Simply because Juncker oakleaves are not that desirable. Most people who have the funds to buy O or O&S will prefer the godet pieces. These are a better investment.
But if you really want it, just go for it.Comment

Jose,
I think Dietrich was pretty clear in his opinion of where this set should be, and it is far less than the 9400€ or $10,800.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you have to ask this many questions about the value (especially for an expensive item like this) I'd recommend directing your investment into something you are much more familiar with. One of these days you may find somebody who is not as honest as DM with a real vested interest in the sale and you could get taken for a ride and lose your hard earned money (and unintentionally artificially "reinflate" the market).
Food for thought and please understand no offense meant.

If an original KC is worth between 6000 to 9000 euros and 7000 were awarded during WW2, why are oakleaves, of which only just over 800 were awarded, not worth more? Is it because it is so small?
