I actually like this big eagle. I can see no reason to doubt it's authenticity. As to what it came off of, I honestly have no clue. I doubt that it was for the exterior of a building, due to it's rustable material of manufacture. I could possibly envision this above an indoor entrance way on top of the lintel in a building like a Ministry or a place like the Chancellery or some other impressive Party building, but this is only a blind guess, of course. It would need to be some place not close to the ground and passers by, so above a formal doorway, say, 8 or 9 foot overhead would sound about right. From it's looks, it would have had it's back facing the wall, and so it's lack of minute details on that side.

by the screw in its lower part, I'd say this eagle was subject to a piece of marble or something similar. Well looks a heavy eagle.

Hello Wagriff!
Thank you so much for your valuable input! These are indeed very impressive pieces. I agree, it is most likely an indoor piece to be placed in a important State building. I'm very happy with my purchase, thank you!
Very best regards,
Jose

Buenas Alex,
Muchas gracias por tu comentario, también lo creo que este aguila debía fijarse en un bloque de marmol, probablemente en un lintel según lo sugerido por Wagriff. Efectivamente es una pieza muy pesada, con unos 17kg...
Un cordial saludo!
Jose
Good evening Alex,
Thank you very much for your comment, I also think that this eagle should be set at a block of marble, probably in a lintel as suggested by Wagriff. It is indeed a very heavy piece, weighing just 17kg ...
Very best regards!
Jose

Not much of an idea where this could be from. Just looks like a generic eagle from just about anywhere to me.
I do know what it should be used for though. If it were mine I would make it into a mean hood ornament.

I think it's a little bit large for a hood ornament?
