This particular model of Bluemels, the Noweight, with the spearpoint extension, in this condition, with the molded in refelector, and the Q/D attachments, is VERY VERY hard to find.  It was the mudguard of choice for many top end British bikes of the late 30's though early 50's.  However, if the buyer intends to use them on a Raleigh Record Ace they are slightly incorrect as they used a special version of the these mudguards with a two piece front mudguard.  Although the front extensions can be found I have never seen the rear part of the front mudguard that ends at the fork crown for sale. All that being the case, the ending price suprised me too!
