Nürnberg Desk Eagle Swept-Wing Variant II

This beautiful desk eagle shows a spread-out / swept wing style that was described in an early post. It is beautifully crafted and weighs very heavy. The key difference to the previous one is that this desk piece has its eagle soldered on a metal base and with a matt-black semi-lustre finish. Exceptionally craftsmanship. The base shows an engraved dedication made in 1938. There are no maker marks on this piece, although some examples of this particular variant came from the HB foundry. From author's own collection.
