A Hitler Bust

[firefighter]

your opinion fake?

Modern era junk. Not even quality bronze-just low cost brass.

I'm intrigued.....were they always and only ever bronze then?

Hitler busts can be found in just about any material you can shake a stick at...however, the quality of the detailing and the quality of the metal material of which this one is made is very modern in origin. It appears to be the same maker as the standing Hitler statues of a few years ago-the ones with the huge feet,etc. Very poor efforts...

That's a lot more helpful and informative - thank you...we only learn if we know the "why".

I've often wondered if central quality controls applied to these and similar things at the time of manufacture.....I guess the AH/period equivalent of modern day "image rights"?

Thanks again

Dimensions? is it hollow or solid. I'm thinking India or China production.
