Large Early Hand Carved Oak Reich Adler # 3427
Over the years I have had a few opportunities to examine several original wooden eagles that were quite nice, but I was never able to buy one and the owners won't give them up. I think this is the first one I have ever had listed and like enough to put up on my site. This is a fairly large political eagle coming in with just over 21 1/4 in height and a wingspan of 31 1/4. It is an early style political eagle and hand carved out of oak and is comprised of 9 pieces in all and then fitted together. It is not what you typically see and if the finish were all there you probably not know its so many pieces, but it has wear conducive with its age and remains untouched.
Its no big secret I like the birds here and it won't hurt my feelings if it does not sell and I have a spot for it, but I also have a lot of new items so I would not snooze too long while pondering the ins and outs of Third Reich eagles. Ill try and get some more photos but this will not disappoint and even the sides of the roundel are nicely carved. Looks to weigh about 4.5 pounds and has an oversized dinner bell hanger, it will hold without issue although I would probably support it or add a secondary.
