This is a recently acquired desk eagle which has one of the most beautiful stylised renditions of the third reich eagle. The eagle shows widespread wings and claws firming clutching the wreath that surrounds the mobile swastika. It comes with a solid black marble base that has a beautiful vein pattern. The eagle is cast in metal with some patination as shown in the photographs. On the reverse at the bottom of the wreath shows the artist's signature J. Pabst - for Josef Pabst who created these pieces and he was a stone mason and sculptor. These pieces are much, much more scarce than the Nuremberg eagle examples. From author's collection.
