The frenzy continues. EU 8,000 +25% for an open-back 1813 EKI in Osnabruck last weekend (thanks again Graf for the heads-up). I sincerely hope that the successful bidder is totally satisfied with their purchase for, to me, the silver trim fitting was not to a standard one would expect from an Imperial Court Jeweller's workshop. The cross was also a mite over-distressed IMO. Sour grapes ? Not really for I'm never going to enter that market. That said, I can form an opinion on what is put on offer and EU10K for an 1813 EKI is Wahnsinn.
