    A fabulous Original Larger sized Deutsche Reichsbahn train eagle (Adler) manufactured by Rheinmetal Borsig. With a wingspan of just over 28,1/2 inches (72.5cm) it looks quite spectacular, featuring superb detail to the eagle’s body feathers and outstretched wing feathers, head, and of course, the wreathed swastika clutched in the eagle’s claws. The eagle’s wing and head edges display the usual manufacturer’s finishing, file marks. The reverse side is also highly detailed, especially the wing feathers. Just above the reverse wreath and between the claws are all the identifiers, including maker mark, which comprises of two inter-linked impressed circles with ‘Rheinmetall’ in one and ‘Borsig’ in the other, below the maker marks can be seen impressed stamps for the metal element compounds ‘G  AL-Mg-Si’ (Aluminum, Magnesium and Silizium (Silicon), the capital letter “G” stands for Guß (Guss) and means cast. There were originaly three threaded mounting posts on this eagle which have been almost completely ground/filed down, and the center of each has been drilled out and threaded by a past owner to accomodate mounting screws.
    This fabulous Deutsche Reichsbahn Eagle would be an amazing and must have addition to any collection on it’s own, but this eagle does not come alone, it is accompanied by it’s original Deutsche Reichsbahn ‘D’ and ‘R’ letters!
    Two Incredibly rare, original, letters, ‘D’ & ‘R’ , which are size-matched to their accompanying eagle, as detailed above. Assumably produced from the same aluminium alloy as the eagle (there are no markings to reverse), the letters display a fantastic prismatic style which simply look amazing when displayed with their eagle, flanking the wreathed swastika. To the reverse of both letters can be seen the remnants of where three threaded attachment posts would have been, now grinded down flat to the surface. On each letter there are two tiny (2mm) threaded holes which a past owner had used to mount for display.
    This Deutsche Reichsban eagle and letters set is not from an American or British Veteran bring back, which is the norm these days, on the contrary this eagle has never left Germany, and had been in a German collection since the end of WWII, adding just a little more desirability to this incredibly rare set!

    A superb example of an original DR Eagle and letters set, an absolute must have for the Deutsche Reichsbahn or Third Reich collector, no collection will ever be complete without these!

    Please check out our gallery photographs for this piece, we have included some actual images of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, along with their respective entourage, on the platform outside wagon number ’10 242’, it is quite extraordinary, or maybe creepy, to know that the toast rack we present here was on that train wagon at that time.
    Hitler, himself, would most likely have taken slices of dry bread from this rack, not toast, as he would have prefered to simply take a slice with marmalade or jam!

    Without doubt this is one of those ‘If it could talk‘ pieces!

    This is one of the rarest of the rare Deutsche Reichsbahn, and Hitler items to find, an unmissable purchase for the diserning collector or museum curator.
