Description
German Railway Train Eagle by J & Z – Large Size 27 1/4 by 13 7/8 inches – 69.2 by 35.24 cm. Great looking German Railway – German Reichsbahn Third Reich Era train eagle. This eagle was probably mounted on a passenger car of a train based on the size. The reverse has the remains of 4 fittings for attachment. This eagle was carefully removed so as to not break the eagle itself leaving it intact when viewed from the front without any holes. I have seen these railroad eagles in about 4 different sizes. The detail on this eagle is crisp and superb. The eagle is correctly marked on the reverse for this maker and I have posted plenty of pictures of this example. This maker is credited as Johannsnsen & Ziegner from Oranienburg in the book by Saris. This is a superb piece that would be the highlight of any collection! These have always been hard to find and have really dried up. LH5030
