Airplane Model Junkers W 34 Seaplane Salesman Sample Factory Built 1926
-
Description
An extremely rare factory built model of a Junkers W 34 Seaplane made in Germany around 1926. This model is made from bronze & originally belonged to the Argentine Military. This is an early aviation model, built as a Seaplane to land on rivers & lakes due to the lack of airports during the early 20th Century. The model is completely original, it has no restoration. There are a few small dents, two to the top of the fuselage, the top of the engine cowling & one side of the wing. Considering this model is almost 100 years old the condition is good. There are also remnants of paint as it was painted silver with Argentinian Military markings which have worn off over time. They were Argentinian Army markings as Argentina did not have an air force until 1945. The wingspan measures 29" extremely rare model, one of a kind.
