Elite eleven - karger

[gsgutow]

I've been collecting for 20 yrs and just came across a karger sweet caporal 350 series! I always thought these did not exist and worry it is a fake. Any thoughts?

Shouldn't exist. Would be a cool discovery. Post scans and pics. The more the better.

Would be a big deal if confirmed.

Would love to see scans.

Rebacked?

Here's the pics... hopefully I uploaded them correctly.

EDITED TO ADD: SEE BELOW SKEPTICISM. BALL IN OP'S COURT ON THIS.

Very nice find -- and in great condition to boot!

The ink bleed suggests (I think?) that it's NOT rebacked and that other copies once existed! CAN ONE OF YOU S/W GURUS MAP THE INK BLEED ON THE BACK TO KARGER'S FRONT? THANKS!

After 100+ years of discards, it's probably now (if it's legit) unique like the Schulte (Front View) P350.

There is one other 150/350 subject I know of where possibly only one copy exists with SC 350/30 -- Karger now may be in that category.

So I guess now we have the "Tough Ten" instead of the "Elite Eleven."

Edited to add: Hmmmm. Starting to wonder if the ink bleed pattern on the back matches Karger's front . . . .

Also, lower left corner on Karger front scan doesn't seem to match lower right corner on back scan ??? . . .
