***A Super Rare Offering***A Very Rare Genuine WW2 Nazi Railway Eagle.
A Super and Very Rare Genuine WW2 Nazi Railway Eagle.
A super rare offering here! An original WW2 German rail road eagle removed from a train car. This example is in superb condition and totally genuine. These were attached to the front of locomotives and box cars during the reign of the Third Reich and this example is a particularly large example. The threaded mounting bolts marks were broken off when removed. The reverse is marked in the centre of the eagle with the compound elements which reads; GAL-Mg-Si (Gal=Galvanised Aluminium, Mg=Magnesium, Si=Silicon) and as well as the abbreviations RZA 5 = Zug Adler (Train Eagle 5), and BERL (Berlin).
LOK: locomotive
RZA 5: Reichszeugsamt 5 (State Supply Office 5)
BLN: Berlin
GAL Mg Si: Guss (finish or coating), Aluminum, Magnesium, Silizium (this is the international code for aluminum)
Do not get fooled by the many replicas being offered. This is a 100% original taken off a train by a British WW2 Veteran and sourced by us directly from the family. This is a one-off offering that we never expected to find as they are just so rare. A true investment piece that are almost impossible to find!
