It is reported that this Loco was sold that year in Rotorua (NZ) to an Auckland collector. I do not yet know who was the original source of this story. As best I can tell, G-III was last produced around 1922 and is around 67mm. The only reference I have showing any G-III items is the 1911 catalogue but the fact that one of these may be here down-under is intriguing to say the least.

From what I've seen, most Gauge III models from Marklin were produced around 1910 period. As time went on the size was too big so wasn't practical. Paul PS. here's a recent Gauge III loco I came across: http://marklinstop.com/2...ury-old-family-heirloom/
