Comment
In 1926 the restrictions on airship construction were lifted, and with the aid of donations from the public, work was started on the construction of LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin. This revived the company's fortunes, and during the 1930s, the airships Graf Zeppelin and the larger LZ 129 Hindenburg operated regular transatlantic flights from Germany to North America and Brazil.The model of the token is marked as D-1121. This model is not documented, can be a fantasy name.
