saschaw Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 A current auction on eBay.de: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230473946464 I think it might be of interest I bought this star some months ago. I showed it to some collectors and most were not confident with this star. While the star itself seems to be fine and ~1840 era, the medaillon is quite sloppy made and is of very unusual design. There were serios doubts this can be an authentic SAO star, so I returned it recently. A real Raupp made SAO star is published in Nimmergut's opus magnum II. It has a more typical design and is of very finde craftmanship - while this here is definitely not. Caveat bidder... :whistle:

Thanks for the heads up on this saschaw, you may have just saved a fellow member from making a costly error. For a change I was not watching this one. Regards Brian
VtwinVince Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 I would think the star body alone is worth the price of admission at the moment......
saschaw Posted May 16, 2010 Author Posted May 16, 2010 :D Sure, the current price... but I paid "somewhat" more and have no clue where it'll end this time.
saschaw Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 And again... http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230482793223 :angry:
VtwinVince Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Man, this thing is getting swapped around like some crack-whore......
