In all fairness, those caps are pretty interesting specimens. It's too bad that the sublegends are lasered though.

Absolutely! I can completely understand the price. Still, they're the most expensive caps I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, if I had the money I'd totally buy them.

They are lasered (engraved), but they are all allmost 0,5-1mm deep, so I say it is impossible to wear them ever down. I will take a better picture when I have time. I just want to say they are not like the legends on cherry cyrillic keycaps pad printed.
300€ (or a working beamspring keyboard
) was my price to let them go, if some crazy collector really really want them
, if not I will them use every day on my FSSK. I dont wanted to make ultra profit, through selling "cheap" bought ebay stuff, or something, but maybe someone need exactly this set to make a keyboard perfect and will help my to finance me a beamspring
.
Btw are there any other engraved IBM keycaps outer there? They look interesting and I never saw any set like this yet.

It is a shame that the black sub-legends are fading already.

Which do you mean? The typewriter specific legends are green and light blue.

Mh! that's it, they are green, that appears to be a washed gray, my bad.
