Yes, I got my seals about 5 weeks after I ordered them. They were everything that was claimed.
He is still in the construction phase of an internet biz and accumulates enough orders before making a bulk order once a month to his vendors. Depending on when you ordered it may not have been placed immediatlly. See his ads on TheSamba under Viande, he states when the next order goes in. I believe him to be honest and sincere.
Hope you are satisfied with the seals and find they were worth the wait.

For your information ... the seals that are currently being produced in Germany are new ones,
made today ... BUT some use indeed the toolings from the earlier manufacturors (toolings most likely restored or updated)
It is a mythe to offer NOS seals in these times and honestly imagine to use a 40+ year NOS window seal ...
I can tell you many things but the seals CSP is using do come out of Germany, are made now, and are accurate to the old design and quality. And yes some are made from the original toolings, but also some from new or updated toolings.
Hope this helps,

Gunter.

All

I now use nothing but the CSP Seals for road and race cars, there quality is second to none.  After Dave Rhoads saw the ones on Underdog 2 he also got a set for his 64, as the rubbers kept turning in on the corners, the CSP o ;Dnes dont do that.

As stated by Gunter who would use a 40 year old rubber........ and expect it to keep a seal ????

So there's no confusion, he offers NOS parts, and OEM seals that are reproduced today much like you describe for CSP's.
Nothing wrong with CSP but on this side of the pond it is one of the better sources.
