saschaw Posted May 15, 2010 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

VtwinVince Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I would think the star body alone is worth the price of admission at the moment...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 :D Sure, the current price... but I paid "somewhat" more and have no clue where it'll end this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
