Dear Iron Brothers and Sisters! I am a very lucky guy - I have owned Sigmund Klein's Sandow Statue (made in the 1890s) since 2008. (see last picture of my Sandow that lived in Sigmund Klein's gym NYC for over 30 years till it was closed in the 70s/80s).
I still cannot believe it lives with me here in Melbourne now!!!
It is a fact that Eugene Sandow himself took this very Sandow, that I now own, in his own hands, from England to America back in the late 1890, as a present to his would-be father-in-law. Watch Chris Devin (Previous president of Association of Professional Bodybuilders) speaking to authenticate this: https://youtu.be/Ofm_097eTZY
Recently, I commissioned a top European sculptor to produce 100 Beautiful and PERFECT Resin Replica (with metal embedded in the base) and they are nearly GONE!
I now have another about 20 left to share. I am really NOT making money on these (although I hope to do so eventually)!!! Almost All who received these from me used one word as feedback to me - "PERFECT!"
This statue comes with a FULL Money Back Guarantee, in undamaged condition. No question asked - I will refund your full amount upon request after you received your Sandow, provided the statue is not damaged by the buyer*. Not one single person who bought has done that.....so I am confident that you will LOVE this Statue!!!
SECURE AND SAFE INTERNATIONAL & DOMESTIC SHIPPING. Takes only about 10 days to arrive at the U.S. from Melbourne. Secured Guaranteed Registered Delivery and FULLY Insured - costs me more, but worth the peace of mine! This is NOT the same as the Mr Olympia Trophy, which is a modified contemporary version produced by Joe Weider in 1977. This replica is a genuinely rare item, copied from the 1896 F. Pomeroy's Creation. The anatomical aesthetics of this Pomeroy's creation is obviously superior. And one can tell that it is the original hundred+ year old design merely by the relative shorter length of the barbell, compared to the contemporary attempt to modify (not replicate) this old time sculpture.
17 inches tall, 9lbs.
NO QUESTION ASKED MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! This replica material is a combination of metal and Fibre Glass (Resin), with gold paint individually skilfully applied by the trained hands of professional artists. The craftsmanship is of very high level. I personally (money-back) guarantee that it will please the most discerning collector. What you WILL receive is replicated from a rare original 1902 original bronze Sandow photographed and shown in this ad. I have looked after and enjoyed this 1890s Sandow Statue since 2008 and simply want to share the joy! Therefore, I will gladly return every cent to any buyer who is not satisfied and item returned and received. No question asked! *The only simple condition is that the buyer makes a continuous and unedited video of unboxing the statue, showing any possible damage during shipping. Without such a video any damage is the responsibility of the buyer.
No combined postage for multiple item purchase.
Very Important Notes to all buyers:
1. If the receiver is not home to sign for it, the delivery company will leave a note for you/him/her to pick it up. There is a limited number of days for you to do so. After that, they will return the box to me. If this happens, it will be your responsbility to pay for resending and insurance.
2. Please be aware of sales tax in your country upon import. This is the buyers responsibility.
(Note : To ensure maximum protection, the box used to transport may be of a different type to the one in the photos in this ad.)
Information on the Original Sculpture that these Replicas are reproduced from:
Frederick Pomeroy sculpted this in circa 1896. This piece is casted from the very original Sandow Statue Trophy - the very first bodybuilding trophy to have been created. The original piece (in photos) belonged to the Great Sigmund Klein. It was purchased when he passed in 1987. It then travelled from New York to Melbourne Australia. Please take special note of a photo taken in Klein's gym with Klein, Steve Reeves and Joe Weider.
A WORD FROM THE SELLER. Help make me Bodybuilding History FunI want to assure you of my integrity as a person. These are my gyms that I own and operate (since 2002): Fitnessland Gym and Victors Gym (Melbourne Australia).

I am showing you these so you may know that I am NOT a money-making fat bellied merchant. I care for this stuff! From me, you WILL get what you pay for (& MORE!). I hope to share the love.
