Could this be a Reichsbahn Signal Horn?
normally my posts are found in the blades forum so this is a bit out of my comfort zone, but i'll give it a try ......a friend of mine inherited this lovely Signal horn, marked SIGNAL Ges. Gesch. and a 14 on the rim.
Has anyone ever seen one like this?
Hope to get more info, and my best guess was a warning-signal Horn from the Reichsbahn.
Any info would be welcome!
thx,
Ger

But did the Reichsbahn used this type Signal-Fog Horn?
Thats the question...

I think that only ships used signal FOG horns. fog didn't create any problems with the REICHS BAHNS , the trains run on rails. it may have been used to signal the engine from the caboose, on movements in the rail yards? jmho.
Is this the same Signal brand that is seen showing a logo with an arrow going through a Bullseye target?

Well its not for a train but for the platform station manager, they all used horns all over the world.
You can also see that it has a carrier ring, so to be taken by hand.
In WW1 they used all kinds of horns in the trenches for gas alarm, they also had special train Regiments., therefore hard to tell which unit used it.
Hoping on a specialist in this subforum to identify it.......
