I am no help for estimating price . They are very interesting. Looks like someone took time to build a nice box, then left them out doors.

What do you know about them?

DKW! Pre-war! It´s a long way from Zschopau to Kentucky - congratulation scarecrow, you´re probably the only one in your homestate who has one  ;D
But where is the rest of these bikes?
That´s what the KM 200 could look like:

Actually the KM is not very rare (for a pre-war type) so there are many reproduction parts available - maybe I can tempt you... :D

the guy that i got them from got them from an estate sale about 20/25 yrs ago.the estate was from a WWII vet that was an engineer in the army.he brought them back with him but didnt do anything with them so they have been in that box since he got back.all he brought back was the engines no frames or other parts that i know of exept what is in the box.
