5513 MK III insert – advice needed

Hi there,

I'm considering putting my insert for sale.
However - I'm not 100% sure what the correct description should be.
Please take a look at the pictures:

Is it
– genuine (!)
– non service-insert
– MK III
– Fat font

What would be a realistic and fair price-tag?

Thank you!
Peter

Only thing that sets me off is the triangle, looks like its inside point is printed on the inner rim of the insert, I have not seen this before on gen inserts.
could be the picture though...

The Triangle printing is fine. This happens and is not uncommon.

The insert is a decent MK3 Fat Font. The one thing that concerns me is the creasing at the triangle and it might snap loading and unloading into a bezel.

Okay – thanks your input.
The creasing? On the front?
How much do you think it would sell for?
