    Original Third Reich Deutsche Reichsbahn Train Engine Plaque

    Original Third Reich Deutsche Reichsbahn Train Engine Plaque

    Original Third Reich Deutsche Reichsbahn train engine plaque. These were mounted above a railroad eagle, or/and the engine’s designation number, on the side of WWII German train engines. Made from an alluminium alloy metal, painted black with raised brushed metal, or white painted lettering which says “Deutsche Reichsbahn”, there are six drilled holes where the bolts would have secured it to the engine.
    There has been debate as to the ‘thickness’ of Third Reich period engine plates as opposed to those manufactured post war, with the war produced plaques measuring about 3-4mm thick and post war ones from about 5-6.5mm in thickness, this original war time plaque is in the 3-3.5mm range.
    This fabulous train plaque has belonged to one of our colectors for over 50 years, it is in totally original condition and without any restoration, it has been simply boxed and stored away.
    This plaque still retains some encrusted engine soot.The letters are the brushed metal type, and are a bit dirty and grubby looking. Unfortunately we don’t know the train engine number but it must have been an extremely hard working beast. A totally superb piece in completely original, untouched condition.

    These Third Reich Deutsche Reichsbahn engine plaques are becoming very scarce, with one at recent auction fetching upwards of £1,000. So here is a great opportunity to catch a super original example, an amazing historical and future investment piece.

    Condition:

    The plaque has been well used, having been stuck to the engine housing of an extremely hard working train for many years, so there are surface marks in the metal and letters. It is uncleaned, dirty and grubby. The reverse displays alloy corrosion. A quite superb center piece for any Third Reich Deutsche Reichsban collection display.

  • Very Large Third Reich Naval Jack (Göschen), 500 x 300cm, Flown from the Bow of a German Warship

    Very Large Third Reich Naval Jack (Göschen), 500 x 300cm, Flown from the Bow of a German Warship

    THIRD REICH NAVAL JACK,  Nationalflagge und Gösch der Kriegsschiffe
    Third Reich flag, 500cm x 300cm (196.85″ x 118.11″), a “Goesch”, or naval jack, flown from the bow of German-flagged warships and merchant shipping. The flag is constructed of red wool bunting with a clamp-dyed black mobile swastika within a white disk slightly offset towards the hoist (which differentiates it from the State flag). Several rows of reinforcing stitching are visible along the edges. The hoist itself has reinforcing squares at the corners and a sewn-in rope. It is stamped with a Kriegsmarine property stamp, depicting an encircled swastika over the initial “M”, in black ink, along with the designation “Göschen 500 x 300”, also another ink stamp indicating the place of manfacture “Buntstoff Berlin”.

    Condition:

    A well used WWII Naval flag which has surface marks and some staining, a few very small holes, hoist a bit darkened, dusty looking. Wonderful vintage musty smell overall, has never been washed, does not glow under black light. It is huge and a fabulous looking display piece, if one has the room!
