It looks like a nice piece to me.
I not familiar with the art works in Linz and I haven't heard of a sculptor with the name TH Linz.
There is one similar here that mentions the same sculptor:
Hitler bronze bust
The sculptures done by Wolff always seem to depict AH with his penetrating eyes but this one looks a bit blank.
The way this has been manufactured looks to be the way I would expect...Below is one of the Wolff sculptures that was used throughout the TR
I wouldn't have a problem adding it to my own collection
I have some pictures of a large collection somewhere on file so if I find them I can add them to the thread.
Cheers
Doug
I'm not keen. Overall pitting and craters, the odd looking crude strengthening web on the base, the maker foundry mark that I've not seen connected with that artist before and the strong suspicion that it's cast from brass and then antiquated rather being made from the more expensive alloy bronze would make me avoid this one. Wait and see what others have to say.

Look s good - TH Linz was a NSDAP Party member and was a very popular AH sculptor during the period - have seen a few with the name and the foundry as is reflected on this piece. Nice find.
