Wait they really go for 100 over there? That's crazy.

Hello haru,

Some have. Others for quite a bit less. They command a range of prices, just as do other collectibles, based on condition, type, markings etc. Shipping adds further to the end cost facing a buyer.

Regards,
Stu

Does anyone have any clue what kind of string/ ribbon was used to carry these? I have been wanting to make a fake fuze and carry string to sit on top of mine.

Below is a link to one such reproduction. You can find more information at that forum by doing a search.
