This early wall eagle, sometimes known as a Hoheitsadler, has a wingspan of 35cm from tip to tip. It has a semi-hollow design, mast of cast brass and shows oxidation. Almost all of these early wall eagles are unmarked. They are often very well detailed on the front and do not have casting marks on the reverse. They are very heavy and sometimes have a wire bent in the form of an inverted "U" for it to be hung onto the wall. From author's own collection.
