One of the most magnificent pieces from this collection, this gold-gilt Nürnberg desk eagle was probably a more expensive variant made available for high-level political leaders and VIPs. The details are outstanding and the gold finish is intact even after nearly 70 years. The eagle is mounted on a low-base made of cream coloured marble and with a felt backing on the underside. The reverse shows the RZM marking of M3/100, being identical to the trophy eagle described in one of the earlier posts. This variant in gold-gilt with a crisp maker stamp and in a good condition is extremely hard to find. From author's own collection.
