Rare Vintage Airline Agency Model W. Osgaard & Co. 1:100 SAS Sud-Aviation SE-210 Caravelle in Metal - Markings LN-KLH (With Original Stand) Description: Authentic promotional desktop/office model for airlines from the late 1950s/early 1960s of the iconic Sud-Aviation SE-210 Caravelle passenger jet, produced in Denmark by the prestigious manufacturer W. Osgaard & Co. (Charlottenlund). This heavy die-cast metal model wears the original SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System) livery and bears the registration marks LN-KLH (the aircraft named by SAS “Lars Viking”). SAS was the historic launch operator of the Caravelle globally, making this specific producer-airline pairing highly sought after by aviation historians and memorabilia collectors. Details and Specifications: • Manufacturer: W. Osgaard & Co. Models (Charlottenlund, Denmark) — The original maker’s brand/label is clearly present and intact under the fuselage. • Aircraft Type: Sud-Aviation SE-210 Caravelle • Airline: SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System) • Registration Marks: LN-KLH (Lars Viking) • Material: Heavy metal / die-cast aluminum • Scale: 1:100 (Length and wingspan around 33.5 cm) • Stand: Includes the original and correct vintage round rod stand with a cradle-slot (“cupped”) Condition: The model is presented in good vintage, fully original condition, with a magnificent patina of time never touched. The metal structure is absolutely solid. The white fuselage paint has aged beautifully, taking on a very uniform and natural ivory/cream tone. The original decals show the usual signs of age but remain legible and complete. This model has never been polished or cleaned. It features a beautiful patina of time highly appreciated by collectors because it certifies its originality. Models like this are rare, and when they appear at auctions they are almost always in poor condition. The specimen offered in the Catawiki auction, however, is in excellent condition, which makes this item exceptionally rare. Note (Defects): For maximum transparency, please note that two small original parts are missing on the wings (the vertical wing fences or small probes). This is a common omission for promotional agency models of this age. Otherwise the model is structurally complete, never restored, and comes with its rare original stand from that era. Please examine the photos carefully as they are an integral part of the description.
