Oakleaves with swords - original?

[kaiserwilhelm2]

Hi Guys,

Is this an original? At one point swords were broken off and reattached. Photos are not fantastic but these are the ones I have. Thanks!

Thanks guys. :: I had doubts myself but wanted to be sure and only in order to check the credibility of the guy who is selling it for 4,5 K on ebay. With this outcome I am guessing he is not all that trustworthy.

A boxed set in good condition will currently cost you between EUR 30-35k retail from a dealer.

IMO it is a bit hard to tell what the price of damaged items is compared to say 100% mint. If we just pretend the item was in fact original I would not be able to work out what the fact that the swords was broken off and reattached would mean price wise. Also this is not from a dealer but a private seller on ebay which would also impact the price. So 4.5 K euro might still be cheap for an original with defects and sold by a private individual on ebay but I imagine it would be rather far removed from 30-35k USD.

I would be interested in any thoughts how damage/condition impacts the price of any item.
