Really don't mean to be any sort of killjoy here, guys but (at least in the U.S.) these late war zinc/kriegsmetall HJs (especially by Overhoff & Friedrich Linden) seem fairly common. Some in good condition and with nice detail but a majority seeming to have a rather lackluster look. If I am remembering correctly, the zinc tends to absorb the factory finish over time and depending on climate and storage.
From my survey of the current koppelschlöss market, average selling price on American auction sites is more like $65-$70 tops. Again, maybe a difference of geography & supply, however this also appears to me to hold true on the WAF estand. Of course the exceptions to this are the two die-stamped variants by KuQ & W. Redo and also a scarce (and for me elusive) cast prong variant that is perhaps unique to Overhoff or possibly Linden...a question for which our friend Chad would have an answer.
Again, just my humble 2 cents, boys and hopefully I haven't lost my place at the single malt muster. (Macallan 18 for me!)
Best,
Adam

Hard to get hold of in the UK Adam I think the US guys raped Europe after WW2 and took it all back home to the states
