Hello to all,
Although I´m basically an edged weapons collector, due to the actual higher prices I´m looking in other fields to add new pieces to my collection.
A dealer offered to me this Allach Plaquette and as I don´t know almost nothing on this kind of pieces I´d really appreciate your help to learn if it´s a good piece or not. There´s no many info on the net.
Thanks in advance to all

One more pic

Its OK.
Look on the Third Reich Arts website for
a comprehensive tutorial.
good luck,
Seiler

Hal,

I don't see any problems either ... let us know if you get it?

Cheers!

Bill

Thank you very much for your help, Seiler and Bill.
I know thirdreicharts web but the only piece like hits is black finished (exactly as another one I found in hermann historica) and as I´m a newbie in this field I didn´t knew if this plaquette was made in this different colour.
As a beginner I feel myself as I blindman.
Thanks again for your help

Raul

These should be black.

John,

Are you sure about these being black? I always thought they were dunklebraun Ton? I also thought perhaps this one was photographed with a flash and overexposed. Were there some that were more in the brown color range? Isn't this kaolin formula much like the famous Böttger Sreinzeug that was a staple of Meissen? Would you consider one of these plaques a reproduction
if it wasn't that very dark color?

Hal, If I may ask, how much is the guy asking for this piece?

Thanks and best regards!

Bill

Bill, as you suppose correctly the color is more brown not so grey, similar to Julleuchter, like traditional bricks. The pics doesn´t make justice in the color or in the crisp details. I´ll try to get better pics in the dealer house.
About the second question I´ll pm you.

Regards, Raul
