Re: Need Help Identifying This Eagle: SA/NSDAP? Authentic?
These have been discussed a few times within the forum.
They are thought of as being cast repro 'desk ornaments'
(with stand) or 'door knockers'........!

Thanks, guys. Good to know...I'll look that up, Steve. Yeah...I hadn't seen anything like this before and I'm not sure why, but looking at it from the back I had my doubts.
Best,
Adam

Hi' Guy,these eagles where originally produced in the early 30s to mid 30s as party wall plaques,but they were only made of bronze.Many recasts have come onto the market in what they call monkey metal.Which i think this may be!but they were period pieces I own one of the originals cheers paul

Re: Need Help Identifying This Eagle: SA/NSDAP? Authentic?
The early party style eagle in the photo is nickel-plated iron, and is designed to sit upright by means of an iron stand (missing on this example) The eagle is the style of the one from the masthead of the party newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter. The eagles were cast in brass or bronze before the war, and because of wartime copper use restrictions, iron after the war started. Those with the stands were displayed in the windows of shops where the VB was sold, and those without (some were cast with a solid, flat back) were used as paperweights on the stacks of VB sold in outdoor newspaper kisosks.
