Re: Buffet E11 Made In Germany

Chris,

I also noticed the article omitted to point out that the earliest E11s were nickel plated. It also omitted to point out that they were stamped "Made in W. Germany." (I know because I have one.) And the article doesn't give the date that Schreiber switched to silver plate for its E11s. To the extent the article purports to be a complete history of the E11, those omissions are perhaps significant errors. But they don't necessarily negate the accuracy of the rest of the information Dave Kessler reported. I'd be interested to know if you found any other errors in what he says..

I didn't mention the omissions in my previous post because the OP clearly doesn't have an early E11, so they are irrelevant as far as he's concerned and it occurred to me that introducing information about some Schreiber-made nickel-plated E11s would be more confusing than helpful, given his instrument couldn't be one of them.

jnk
