Agreed! Very nice Gold Maedicke 1st pattern. I have 5 of these (gold/silver & 1st & second type) and other than the gold one like yours which was bought in the 70's for $25 cdn all the others were purchased after my return in the hobby in 2011 and were paid anywhere from $135 UDS to 150 euros so 100 euros is a very good priceOriginally posted by AndyC View Post

I bought it at an antique fair off a stall
That was only selling pottery
As soon as I paid the lady bent down to her
Bag and put another on the table which was a bit off putting
I bought the second and she reached down and got a third silver one out
She then got her great uncles medals out apparently he brought the eagles back from the warComment

Yes I imagine that done that way (replacing it with another identical one as soon as sold) would be a "tad" annoying if you were still standing around to see this
but still a good deal and probably no different than any dealer does for more $$$
A lot of those birds were found in full boxes in QM stores or in unit mess halls but only thrickle back in collections slowly as if they were "the find of the year" with matching prices. However if the Ol' Lady has a crate full of these birdies in gold & silver (same design) I suggest you get a silver one as well if you can because the silver ones of this particular variant are not seen as often not as in good a condition as their gold bethren
Take care
