Classic Nürnberg Desk Eagle with Dedication

Of all desk eagles and trophy pieces, this would be the most recognised form of Nürnberg eagle, identified by the sharp details and with a less rounded chest than the other style shown above. This piece shows some of the original gilt-wash still present and mounted onto a cream coloured marble base. This piece is unmarked and has a dedication plaque for the Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie (airfield works company) dated 23 January 1940. From author's own collection.
