Need help evaluating sefer torah

By -
Hi , Could  I please get the help of some experienced sochrim, what would be the fair price for a private sale of a sefer torah including all checkings in the ksav below. price in Israel I guess...

A) I know is more simple and B) is very beautiful but assuming they are both frum ehrliche sofrim with ksav kaballah what would be the prices. I'm not looking to sell anything this is purely for my own research with a customer.

You can click on the images to see them clearly

Thanks

    I think it's fair to say up to $75 per omud for A and up to $150 per omud for B. which, on decent klaf and 3 proper hagohas means approx. $25,000 for A and $40,000 for B

    Does anyone think different?

    I don't disagree necessarily, but -

    My only comment is that while B) seems obviously nicer in terms of consistent writing and straight lines - I have a big problem with a) the space he leaves between some words and b) his regel pnimi in his heys are smaller than his yudim.

    I know they're not meakev but to me at least they're a big lack in hiddur (b) maybe even bediavad acc to some) which are not problems in a).

    Also I have an aversion to sirtut kefula. But I think that's more a personal issue (stemming from the rav who taught me) than a Halachic one.

    I'm not impressed by writing with double sirtut.

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.

 Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the  STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
