SS Flatwire Sleeve Eagle

Picked this up from an collection collection. It's been out of circulation for at least 25 years. Looks nice to me but want to be sure. Reddish tinge is from the camera lighting , not on the eagle. Thanks.

I agree with Mr. Bonini, a perfectly original example.

No, this I bought from a collector who picked it up in the 60s or early 70s. Never anything from Kai Winkler and probably will not after seeing those prices. He makes Bill Shea look like a fire sale.

Nobody can do that with 16,500 for a title-less SS wrapper but yes Kai got 1300 Euros for eagles just like yours. I love flatwire insignia but yes that is very high.
