Wherein I go to the source of a "Meyle: Germany" part
Once in a while I order car stuff from Hong Kong or mainland China through eBay. Late nights and lubricating beverages are often involved.
Enter one Hong Kong special, $13.99 (shipped) ignition switch (supposed to be for a w123, they sent a w126 one, so off to PayPal this goes). Lovely markings: "Meyle Germany" Markings are very similar to the Hans Pries/Topran switch I got last year....

Waiting now on a return call from the dealer, their parts system is having issues this morning.
The original estimate was from the parts manager. When I called he said more or less "It's going to be north of $200, do you want me to confirm the actual amount?" I said forget it. I have a good relationship with them so I had no reason to question what he said. I talked to one of the staff this morning and explained the original conversation and the apparent price differential. He said he would look into it.

That font looks like the classic font you find on a lot of Chinese goods. I wonder if they just threw the Meyle name on there and counterfeited it
