Description
Deutsche Reichsbahn Napkin from Adolf Hitler`s Staff Dining Wagon 10 ‘244’
A beautiful light cream coloured linen napkin produced for the Deutsche Reichsbahn Sonderzugs.
The napkin has a lovely silky feel and displays a wonderful sheen effect with two-tone stitching creating a smooth, almost golden coloured inner border to the obverse and to the inside square on the reverse. A quite stunning Eagle and Swastika Deutsche Reichsbahn Motif is machine stitched to the center of the napkin and can be seen in reverse to the backside. The napkin carries a designation mark for Adolf Hitler’s Fuhurersonderzug ‘Amerika’, and in particular carriage number ‘244’ which was Hitler’s staff dining wagon, this is in the form of a stitched number “244” to the lower left corner of the inner border.
Condition:
The napkin is in beautiful condition, has no rips or tears, and is very clean. There is a little bit of “spotting” as a result of being stored in a damp place at some time in its past. Some minor cloth creases which could be ironed out if so wished. A fabulous display piece and super rare Deutsche Reichsbahn item.
