S-081 Choice 24” Aluminum Railway Eagle
This beauty is produced in silver finished aluminum and has a wingspan measuring
just shy of 24”. The detail to the obverse is amazing! This is a much scarcer
size than normally encountered. The reverse has four unthreaded, unfinished
studs that are full length and uncut (approximately 1.25” long). The reverse
is also very well marked, with stamps for the manufacturer, “P.S.”, located
in a circle on the left (as viewed from behind) wing. Just below this is stamped
“LOK 600”, which means this was for a locomotive, and its size, 600 mm
(approximately 24”). Also stamped on the left wing is “G Al-Mg-Si”. The
“G” stands for “guss”, or “casting”, while the other letters are the
initials of the elements used in the manufacture (aluminum, magnesium, and
silicon). It is also marked “LOK RZA 5 BLN”. We believe this is
for “Reichsbahn Zug Adler” or, in essence, “National Railroad Train
Eagle”, while the BLN is presumably for Berlin. This is located just
above the wreath, basically dead center of the reverse. A handsome example in
excellent condition!
