  1. Easy transaction, good communication, and item was shipped promptly. Postcard arrived well-packaged and in great condition exactly as described and shown in the listing. Good value for this promotional postcard from a Mittenwald luthier who employed more advertising messaging than most of the Geigenbauer in that lovely town.
