Schellbaum Finial

This eagle was very likely used as a finial for a Schellbaum / Glockenspiel. The highly stylized eagle shows excellent detail with a bright silver finish. It was used by both the SS and the SA. It is believed that this was the first pattern finial, followed by a second type that faces the right and has GES GESCH markings. From author's own collection.
