RARE Third Reich ‘Reichsbahn’ railroad eagle by unknown maker ‘Hy’

Description

Genuine and well-preserved alloy made Reichsbahn locomotive/wagon eagle. Shows sharp details. The front was polished by a collector, having a nice silver look now. The back still has its dirty aluminum look and shows parts of its removed metal studs (5). I have never encountered an example by this maker which is ‘HY 51’. Even in the book this example is not yet documented. However a similar example is visible on page 228 having the 3 studs in the swastika wreath. Height: 40 cm, Width: 72,50 cm. Rarely encounter railroad eagle, a must have as centerpiece for any WW2 collection!
