    Hi Andjelo,

    Very interesting. It's hard to know what to think about that badge and its story. Unfortunately Klietmann's reputation has suffered somewhat over the years. For 15,000 Euro you'd think they would at least show a reverse view?

    Best regards,

      Personally, I would take Thies's story and Klietmann's COA, shred them and spread them on my lawn to make the grass greener.
