Beautiful! I know of two, possibly three of these early Magirus aerials surviving in North America. Rodger Borchfield in Indianapolis has one, and Calgary (Canada) has the other. the third was owned for many years by Ed Gassert of Cincinnati, it was very rough and I don't know if it survives any more, it's been 40 years since I last saw it.
