The brass has been cleaned with more than just soap and a soft brush, surely? Looks buffed to me.

3 holes per side on the frontal area, I guess this lid has had a variety of wappen over the years.

Thanks, good to know. :thumb up:

Why is the UK a red flag?

Great work! Can't wait to see more! :thumb up:

Beautiful lid Karel! Is that 100% mint gilt or highly polished brass?

Love those fluted spikes! :thumb up:

I post more on the WRF and see that often such new members do not take well to the bad news, get into a fight and end up with a banning.

Thanks buddy, it's no bargain but that seems to be the going rate for a 1/2 decent example.

I've been quietly yearning for a Kurassier lid for some time now. Last night my wife was showing me her wish list of camera equipment she 'needs' for her business and it came to a little over $10K, I figured the timing was right to show her my own wish list and clicked on the AoK Kurassier...

The shame is the buyer will probably now join a forum and proudly show his prize expecting kudos only to be bitterly disappointed and depart from the hobby.

Officer lining but not officer spike?

Great comparison shots! For me, the gilt/brass of the M95s are more attractive than the grey of the M15s but that's just me.

Beautiful chinscales!

Congratulations!

Indian manufacture?

I would be very interested to see photos of the process of your restoration if you kept a record. The restoration of the lacquer is most impressive to me.

Wonderful collection! :thumb up: I am still looking for my first Kurassier...

Only your first restoration? VERY well done! :thumb up:

A lovely lid! :thumb up: I would agree it looks more like a '60' than a '66'.
