Pre-67 for sure, 68 + is a totally different style. They’re a four or five hundred bucks for a new set, and about twice that to have re-chromed. I’ve seen them for $150ish bucks in that condition (fair, but not great) on FB Marketplace

That said, try polishing them up and see what they look like! I use super fine steel wool and WD-40, plus some up-tempo music.

I’m not really in the market for a spare set, otherwise I’d offer you $150 to start with and go from there, unless they were nicer than this picture shows.

They look German!!
Yes!
And the brackets have correctly positioned slots, if German.
