In 1941 when this tombak badge was introduced, the exchange rate was 2.50 German Reichsmark to the American dollar. Thus the price of Alex's Schwerin was $2.48 U.S!
Today 3000 Euro is $4127.25.
So from $2.48 to $4127.25 over 70 years is an investment return of $1664.21 to the dollar!

What amuses me is that he had this "common" Schwerin piece priced higher than the Japanese made award on his site.
Ok,so it is a beautiful looking award,but not that hard to find in comparison to one of the Yokohama made awards.
One of these days i will just have to "bite the bullet" and buy that Japanese award.
I have five Schwerin's but no Japanese made award,yet.

I think the logic is that collectors will pay the premium to complete the SB line of KM badges where the Japanese version might not even interest most collectors. I would say 98% of KM badge collectors are interested in SB badges, not sure the percentage would be anything like that for the Japanese one.
My take, but clearly, Winkler felt the same. John
