RK Mappe Folder

[Pip23]

I picked up a bunch of German stuff in an auction in a big paper lot . It is mostly manuals for guns but there were also a couple non gun German items. I was told this is a Mapper for a RK Document?? I want to confirm what this is and whats it value would be? I am linking both albums. I tried to take photos with and without flash for the folder

It looks a little too "new" for me. I'd vote on it being a repro, but looks like a really good repro

Looks like you hit a homerun with that RK document folder.I believe if they have the document , they are in the $12,000 - $15,000 range, but then again it depends on who they were awarded to.
Not really sure on just the folder, maybe $2,000 $4,000. If someone just has the document without the folder, then that would be invaluable to them.
thanks

I am afraid to disappoint you on the RK Mappe which is a fake.

Original Mappes are marked "Frieda Thiersch" only, so no "Berlin".
I believe that she had her bookbinding business in Munich.

If it makes it better it's a really good fake, nice for displays and presentation

Is it worth anything?

Is it worth anything?

$50-$100 maybe. Depends on the person
