Thanks Horst. I found this at a local flea market and only paid R200 (+ -$27) for it. Is that a reasonable price?

Thanks Ade, and here's me thinking it started with a K.
I take it the eagle displayed is the Reichsbahn one?

I have 2 different versions in my collection - army markings under the enamel (see pictures 1 and 2) and Kriegsmarine eagle printed to the enamel. I do not want to say anything bad but this eagle seems to be very sharp detailed. Is it printed to the enamel or is under it?

[Horst]

No problem with either or - from the picture both maker and Kriegsmarine proof mark are under the coating/glazing, one just reflects more wear than the other.
