All that glistens is not gold...

May look (a bit) like a Ritter, but it certainly isn't going to perform like one..I wonder how long before these appear in the UK

Here is a Youtube video of Jens Ritter at NAMM posing as a journalist visiting the company that makes those copies. He has a sense of humour.

If he attempts to protect his branding, will he get the same stick on here as others that do ?

I'm tempted to import some & brand them Rotter.

That's shaped exactly like the cat egg that one of the furry feline babies deposited in my slippers this morning.

Depends.

If he threatens to sue Basschat for allowing individuals to sell (privately, to each other) old copies of Ritters which already existed before he asked for them to stop being made, then quite possibly.

If he does that while also allowing others to carry on making them unchallenged because he's threatened them with legal action and they've ignored him, then quite probably.

Why do you ask?

Gone now. Was it the one that's Jovian?
