Description
Original WWII German NSDAP flagpole eagle finial with swastika, a striking and historically significant piece once mounted atop ceremonial or organizational flags. The design features the iconic spread-wing eagle clutching a wreath encircling a swastika, symbolizing the period in which it was produced. Its bold form and detailed casting make it a standout item for collectors of World War II militaria.The finial appears to be made from a copper-based alloy with a chrome-plated finish, giving it its distinctive silver tone. The surface shows clear signs of age and authentic wear, including patina, oxidation, and areas of corrosion consistent with long-term exposure. Notably, the threaded mounting screw is magnetic while the main body is not, supporting the combination of different metals used in its construction.The piece measures approximately 21 cm in wingspan, with a body length of about 17 cm, extending to 23 cm when including the threaded section. This is a rare and desirable artifact for advanced collectors or historical displays, offered strictly as a collectible item reflecting a specific historical era.
