According to the information in Antonius Raab's biography, it was not a replica, but an original Blériot monoplane. One indication of this is at least the logo on the engine cover.
A French pilot is said to have landed the plane on a field in the Cologne area on August 1, 1914. He returned to France as quickly as possible and was unable to pick up his plane afterwards.
The monoplane was kept in a barn by the farmer and came into the hands of Raab-Katzenstein around 1926, where it was made airworthy again and then demonstrated at several air show events until 1932.
According to the LFRB, the machine was registered in March 1928 under the number D-1353 and deleted in April 1932.
It would probably have been lost in Kassel by 1943 at the latest, but the RaKa works were closed down in 1930.
