Overview

  • Dealer Susanne Steiger won a bidding duel for a 3.24‑carat vintage brilliant ring at €16,000 after an expert estimate of €12,000 to €14,000.
  • A Württemberg officers’ Tschapka from 1910, initially expected by its owners to fetch €50, was valued at €2,500 to €3,000 and sold to Fabian Kahl for €1,700.
  • A 1920s brooch received what was described as a €10 expert valuation with just €2 in material value, yet dealer Lieza Kielon paid €70 after competitive bidding.
  • A supposed imperial gift brooch tied to Kaiser Wilhelm II was valued at €1,800 to €2,000 but noted as altered; Susanne Steiger passed and Daniel Meyer bought it for €1,200.
  • Production staff accidentally broke a Mazzega glass element during setup; ZDF said it would cover the damage, and the set drew bids up to €600 against a €1,500 to €1,800 estimate, resulting in no sale.
