OT: Upcoming Sotheby's Auction in Schloss Marienburg, Germany

wildjag

The Royal House of Hannover Germany is auctioning off thousands of lots of property Oct 5-Oct 15th. Link

There are some amazing items being auctioned and I highly recommend taking a look. Whether you like old portraits, militaria (amazing selection of authentic swords)
,
furniture, armour
,
glassworks
,
military uniforms
etc.

I find it fascinating to look at all these old items and have spent hours looking at them. Even though I bought the books and DVD, its worth registering and looking at the items.

Sounds like an extremely rare opportunity to avail oneself of some authentic period pieces!! I'd love some old arms, for instance, like swords or other weapons.

Your welcome. You dont happen to live close by to where the auction is taking place do you Udo

Schloss Marienburg is 570km away, maybe for you it's a short trip, for me it's a journey round the world.

Yeah, but you have the autobahn and can drive that in a few hours. Over here they give out tickets when I decided to drive 65 mph in a 45 mph zone... like they did to me last week

Udo

Sorry to hear, that they gave you a ticket

Yes, we have the Autobahn and we have no speed limit in theory, but in fact there are many road works with speed limits and sections with general speed limits. It's no longer fun, especially with the gas prices, I need Diesel and today's price per liter is 1,229 Euro! This means, a gallon Diesel is $5,60
