I have been fortunate to add this latest Goetz material to my personal collection. I thought you might like to have a peek since I haven't posted anything of substance in a long time. My I-Phone images don't do justice to the pieces but rest assured they would knock your socks off if you viewed them in person. Enjoy.

The 30 lb. box upon arrival via FedEx.

Packets removed from shipping box.

K-6 Bishop Maximillian von Lingg, 1908, Cast Bronze, Uniface, Medallion, 235mm, 830.00g., Unique

K-41 Hofrat Friedrich Hessing, 1908, Cast Bronze, Uniface, Medallion, 257mm, 1790.00g., Unique

K-81 Diana 1900, Paris Period, Cast Bronze, Uniface, Medallion, 236mm, 1464.00g., 1 of 2 known.

K-82 St. Hubertus, 1900, Paris Period, Cast Bronze, Uniface Medallion. 257mm, 1154.00g., 1 of 2 known.

There are numerous additional pieces that came in the shipment but for the most part are process pieces that I have coined with the term 'afterfacts'. These are Goetz wax models, galvano's, iron reduction models, etc. If you are interested in seeing these too then just post your desires. I would probably start a new thread though.

    Congrats, all are amazing. The second medal has great eye appeal, it almost looks like a painting.

    Are you sure those aren't dinner plates? They are huge!

    They are in exceptionally nice condition for such large medals. The previous owners must have appreciated them!

    Congrats on finally having them in hand. Always a relief. They’re beautiful and quite interesting. From what you’ve shown it’s hard to call a favorite with so many reasons to like each one.

    I would love to see more of the production pieces you mention, especially a wax model! Very interested in anything that would showcase production of any kind. Thank you.

    Excellent!
    I have a feeling the items not shown are even more interesting.

    Very cool. The last two pieces in particular are wonderful. Amazing to me that they are unique or 1 of two pieces known. Amazing.
