I have a 1961/62 Nordmende-Sterling Parsifal radio (T.Nr. U 178). It was produced in Western Germany for US export. It works. The casing is in very good condition, except for two small nicks near the front nameplate. Normende made many different models, which go on eBay for $200-$700. But I have not seen the Parsifal, so I suspect this one may be rare. I'd like to find out if it is rare, and get an idea of what I can sell it for. George XXXXX@XXXXXX.XXX

I thought that someone named Chase was working on it, but I haven't heard anything since Monday night. This is not urgent, but I was hoping to get info within couple of days.
Hi,Thank you for your reply. Sometimes, finding the right Professional can take a little longer than expected and we thank you greatly for your understanding. We’ll be in touch again shortly.
Sorry, but none of these are considered "rare", just collectible...I assume all works properly? No physical damage to the case?
The radio works well. Case is in excellent shape, with exception to two small nicks near the nameplate. But the wood casing overall and the speaker cover are very good. Can you provide a valuation?
Sure can! Could you perhaps send one more image, this time of the back cover?
Photos attached
here is closeup
Hi Will. Did the photos help? Any luck coming up with a valuation for me?
Thank you so much, and so sorry for the delay...I was called out of town this morning at 6AM....hence the delay.
