Porsche - original vintage 1990s 'heubach' hinged crest badge keyring with slate grey keyfob

NOW SOLD – sorry this keyring has now been sold and can no longer be ordered.

An original Porsche keyring which we would think will have been produced in the 1990s .

Just this one keyring in this condition to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

This keyring is in slightly used condition – please see the detailed report to follow :-

These particular Porsche keyrings in good condition like this example are becoming increasingly more difficult to find .

The listed price simply reflects what we have to pay nowadays for original Porsche keyrings of this quality .

These original ‘heubach’ Porsche crest keyrings with a vitreous enamel badge hinged onto a genuine leather keyfob with a little leather strap have now become very sought after .

The keyrings were produced with a black or slate grey leather keyfob – those in slate grey leather are considered to be more collectible although the black leather version could have been produced slightly earlier .

Please do not confuse these keyrings with the modern Porsche keyrings with the badge bonded ( not hinged ) onto the surface of the keyfob

This keyring is in very good condition with a vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a keyfob in genuine dark slate grey leather with the trademark ‘plumping’ effect within the keyfob .

The vitreous enamel badge is in excellent condition with no damage – if the keyring has had any use then the gilt plating on the badge will almost always have rubbed through to reveal the silver base metal beneath – just a ‘whiff’ of gilt plating was applied ,

The gilt plating on the raised areas of the badge on this keyring has disappeared – which tells us that the keyring has had some use .

The leather keyfob is also in excellent condition .

The little leather strap which retains the badge to the keyfob is the other clue to the fact that the keyring has been used .

These leather straps protrude slightly proud of the general level of the front of the keyring and consequently receive more wear than the rest of the keyring .

As is almost always the case with one of these keyrings which has been used – the leather strap shows some wear as can be seen in the enlarged high resolution listing photos .

It is difficult to date these keyrings exactly as they had a long period of issue but we are advised by one of our customers in Germany that examples in slate grey leather will most probably date from the 1990s – we are grateful for his input.

Keyrings like this one will be original & correct for use with the final late 1980s 911 Carrera 3.2s , together with all Carrera 964 & Carrera 993 cars and also 928, 994, 968 and early Boxster & 996 .

Original examples of these keyrings do appear on internet auction sites from time to time and sometimes at exorbitant prices – but rarely in particularly good condition .

Over the last 3 years the price of classic Porsche motor cars has risen before finally levelling out -this has been reflected in the demand for original keyrings like these to accompany those cars.

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive and would be a good keyring to be used as intended in a car rather than using a new old stock keyring .
