Doitsu Lemon Kumonryu- Rare?

This is a variety I have never seen before, they are on sale from an unknown person on craigslist.
They are 175 dollars, I just want to know if it is worth it or not.
They are certainly beautiful.
They dont really exactly look like kumonryu though.

If I was a betting man (..and I am) I would bet the yellow becomes orange or red as it grows. Show me a 24 inch adult that still has that shade of yellow. I bet they can't...because there are none. Beautiful as a baby..probably doesn't mean much. I'll believe it's a new and rare variety when I see those big, yellow adults!!!

That one looks a lot like the Doitsu Hikari Ochiba Shigure bred by Kase.

All the fish appear metallic. They are doitsu, but they are not Kumonryu.

The only words that make any sense to me are Doitsu and Hikari
A kumonryu of any kind is a non-metallic fish.
Try something like Kin-kikuryu I saw some at Aoki/Kase in 1999. The good ones had a decent sumi pattern on the flanks. The bad ones look like dirty Kujakus. Whatever they are the first requirement would be a lustrous predominantly silver head.
