Luftwaffe 1st pattern pole top

[fvrod1]

Hello everyone. I would appreciate thoughts and opinions on this Luft pole top. I'm not very knowledgeable or up to speed on flag pole tops.

Thanks

Hello fvrod. To me it looks rather crudely cast and lacks overall detail and quality. Compare to one posted on WAF by member Spencer Victory.
