Engineer's blue?

Spotted this week at a lock on the Shannon river. There is an engineer's blue which I think is Prussia blue, but I liked this one anyway. Note also the z in Mackenzie has done an about turn!

I have used Engineers Blue in the long distant past.
I dont know the proper name of the shade of it, but as I remember it was a bit darker than this.

There must be bits of Victorian metalwork half way round the world still. That blue is irresistable

Great find. It looks like it's been painted more than once for sure.
Good color and entry.
