Hello Flyboy.
Whenever you see that the rear studs are not threaded, or stud removed, it is a bad sign. I'm not a railroad expert per se. but I do feel this item is a repro. Houston has a 24" railroad for sale now in the "For Sale" section.
Take a look and you will see what I mean. -wagner-

To my understanding, the coning are not threaded because it is original as it is when it left the manufacturing company. whether to drill or make a thread on the cone would be decided later when they know how to mount it on the locomotive, train or building etc...

well if i am wrong could anybody correct me? yours humblely - reicheagles -

anybody care to share some advice? come on, i know quite a number of guys out there showing great interest in "railway eagles" or "reichsadler", and some own example similar to this. Pitch in some discussions will ya? too busy with christmas preparation?

100% correct. Very nice "original" RW Eagle. I'm sure JR would agree

Guys, Thanks for the comments. I thought it was real but it is my first Reichsadler and I wanted to be sure.

Nice original!

I bought it. The measurments are 23 3/4'X 13 1/4' It dosen't show in the photo but the surface of the wings and the swas are polished. This is smaller then any RW eagles I have seen. Could this Reichsadler be intended for an office?

I believe the "loc" denotes its intended manufacture was for a locomotive. Someone has published a book on this subject.

Sorry for the typo, should have said "lok" for locomotive.

No problem with this one. Years ago I did not like the unfinished type although I know I was wrong. They are 100% original!
Best Wishes,
Bob

Get a hold of JR and buy one of his books.

Put your mind to rest ..

All the best ..
