Hello comrades,

Thanks

Obviously the wappen is repainted, otherwise looks fine to me. Any liner?

Yes, but its a very nice example of the correct style of plate. A quick bath in the right solvent will reveal the original finish!

I would recommend a water based paint stripper for the job.

Agreed. If the price was right, I'd buy it.
