YIKES!

[Michael Fay]

guess maids will be less sought after soon.
I wonder how many others of those may be around.
Or does everyone just believe this is the only mold in the world left?
if there is one...there can be another

[Rob E.]

...wow.

[Robert H]

but this kind will never be able to make Sieg Heil with the right arm as this piece is missing in that offer.

[Military]

what the ... ?

[Thorsten B.]

Yes, that´s an original mold.

Most of the molds (if not all - but the pristine political ones might have been hidden...) survived and without any damage and can be clearly identified with located place and correct model number still in 1947!

This was a burocratic act/proof since the molds were never ever owned by the SS itself but by the artists!

Yeah, well even with the molds, they still have to get the porcelain right, and there is none like it.

thanks for your info,
I do like that the Maler/artist got to keep the rights of their work.That is comforting somehow.

Geez Robin, you dont miss much mate, regards Johnno.

Soon it will be just like Ming Dynasty relics - you will have to break them to be certain . . .

Professor Henry Jones: [Examining the broken vase] Late 14th Ming Dynasty. Oh it breaks the heart.
Indiana Jones: And the head. You hit me dad.
Professor Henry Jones: I'll never forgive myself.
Indiana Jones: Don't worry I'm all right.
Professor Henry Jones: Thank God... it's fake. See you can tell with the cross sections.

I don't think so really, there is still a degree of difficulty involved and even with a mold such as this its just not cost efficient to reproduce it. At least for this model.

It is an interesting development however.

Along with the arm missing there is some damage to the base. Of course with todays materials and some knowledge it would be possible to make reproductions.

[Robin Lumsden]

Geez Robin, you don't miss much mate.

I try my best!

[ErichS]

I'm glad that I own this version of the Kindl!
