Political Wall Eagle - Arno Breker - Repro
Picked this up recently. Given the price of original political and railway eagles these day I figured it would still display well.
Very well made, solid brass and heavy but clearly a repro especially when you look at the reverse as far as I can tell
Not sure what the correct terminology for these as I've seen them called many things (1st Pattern, NSDAP, Political, Reichstag, etc. )

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

I would call this Reichstag pattern. A very cool piece which would fit well in my collection as well.
I have to agree with your opinion. There is no way this was made by Arno Breker. I went to an exposition last month with some pieces made by the man. A great artist for sure.
Thanks!!!by Vocht
We see the railway eagles often (as well as often copied) but rarely this pattern which is nice. Furthermore at 19 inches (48 cm) it's a nice compact size making it easier to display.

The correct terminology is Kroll Opera House Style Wall Eagle.
Kroll Opera House Style Wall Eagles - Third Reich Eagles
That is a pretty bird. Those wide spans of equal sized golden feathers always remind me of the Ancient Egyptian representations of the eagle.

Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Thanks Kurt. Yes. I failed to mention Opera House. The seller referred to it as this as well.
Thanks Adrian. Now that you mention it, it does have an Egyptian vibe to it
