The carriage is exactly the same, also the segment is nearly identical. On the Orga Privat Model 2 in 1924 a vew very small changes were made, that are not present on the Magneta. So we can be sure, the Magneta dates from 1923.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Thomas FürtigThomas Fürtignoreply@blogger.com
