Important Preface:
SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - PLEASE SEE SHIPPING COSTS BELOW - SHIPPING COSTS STATED IN EBAY ARE NOT CORRECT!
PLEASE WAIT WITH PAYMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN INVOICE FROM ME!

Coming for auction is a rare 78 rpm Record Set from my personal collection:

NOTE: According to "Popsike" this set in its original form as GRAMOPHONE MONARCH pressings has never been offered on Ebay before. (at least not in the last 10 years or so). All you find are later pressings already under the "Schallplatte Grammophon" label. But this is the one and only FIRST FORM of release. Monarch Pressings are much heavier and of far superior pressing quality then later pressings. This set is in extraordinary fine shape.

5. Symphonie (Ludwig van Beethoven)
Philharmonisches Orchester Berlin, Ltg.: Professor Arthur Nikisch
4x Gramophone Monarch Record 040784-040791

Condition: A great collector's item with shiny surface. No cracks, chips or needle-digs. Side 1 has some light superficial scrabbling which is harmless. If you use a proper stylus this will be inaudible. Side 3 has one tiny and absolutely superficial scratch, which is mentioned for cosmetical reasons only.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME
