if it is an eagle period preceding the Reich is a good article. but it takes away the charm, not from the time of the Nazis.
It is from the time of the Nazi's and just does not have the swastika, add a swastika and add a premium. Loads of Third Reich bronze out there without political embellishments. Market is loaded with it really, guys like swastika's and I cant help you with that as this model does not have one. Its a great bird though and a great base.
lovely eagle.
I found other examples of eagles on page Wittmann militaria, dating from the 20s and are also in that style and beauty...

Wittmann Militaria #35933AC Large Bronze Eagle by H. Pabst
Great looking Eagle - In Giessen Germany there was a monument that had this eagle on it without Swaz, and the wording"Flieg Deutscher Adler Flieg" Translated reads "Fly German Eagle Fly" - Believe it was built before Germany was allowed to rebuild the Luftwaffe after WWI ,so the early III Reich years. Was in Germany last year and the monument was taken down.
