Wonderful early gunong Detlef and with silver fittings to boot. My congratulations to you for such a great score and new addition to your collection. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up and the silver polished again.

Best,
Robert

Thank you very much Robert. Would you agree that it is from around 1900 until 1920?

Regards,
Detlef

Hello Detlef,
I would date this from late 1800's to early 1900's. I could be wrong of course but with its size and style that would be my personal opinion on this piece.

Best,
Robert

Congratulations Detlef. I made an offer on this one, but with the terrible state of the Australian dollar my offer had to be modest (too modest for the seller). I'm glad this good early example has entered your collection.

I think that would be about right Detlef.

Ian.

Robert and Ian, thank you both for confirming my age guess.

Russel, the Euro don't have a good state in the moment as well but the price was very good for a gunong like this.

Regards,
Detlef
