These Nuremberg eagles are really the cats meow, and the problem is that it is very difficult to find one like this. This was was sent to me by the son of a veteran who bought the piece back from Berlin and even on my Black Berry I knew this was a nice bird.

This is a white metal piece but retains its original silver wash finish and has never been cleaned giving it that black and inconsistent look that a 70 year old piece should have and that I just cannot find anywhere. It sits on its original base with its original dedication plaque from 1938 and dated 20.4.1938, Hitler's birthday which is not uncommon to see on dedications like this.

The dedication translates to: For Faithful Cooperation/Assistance N.S.D.A.P from Ortsgruppe Dankersen which would be Kreis Minden and from Gau-Westfalen-Nord.

The Nuremberg Adler was designed by Kurt Ehmen and a personally approved design by Adolf Hitler, they were done in huge reliefs for Nuremberg at 7 meters tall!. It is one of the most recognizable symbols that I can think of for the era. They were of course blown up by the allied forces at the end of the war but one can only imagine the presence that these had within the context of the Reich and the time. 

These pieces are easily taken for granted and I try and get them when nice ones appear but its not that often and a lot of fakes to weed through. This one is what I like for myself and I have a spot for it so I will shoot it and move it to the gallery.
