Although it was only an 8-page price list with prices added by hand (!), Zschiesche & Köder and others always listed this catalogue as their first catalogue.

Issues I-VI were coin price lists. Condition: The outer pages are somewhat toned due to the time, minimal defects at the top and bottom. Shown in the rarity section of the MonacoPhil 2019 Unique!
