Having never seen one in person, Just how little is it?

Wow - Nice one Kirk.........!

Hi,
I have a pennant top the same exact size as you do. I was under the impression also that it was for a pennant but a guy on another forum told me it is too small for a pennant. I asked him to post a pic of the size that he thought it should be but he did not of yet. Do you have any period pics with one this size on a pennant? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
rocky

Superb piece, stunning detail.
Rossi,
thank you for the quick reply. I have one the same size as yours. I have it for a long time. I took some pics but they are not as sharp as yours. What book was the pictures in? Could I use the pic of the car & the eagle top measurements to post on the Wehrmact-Awards forum? Again thanks.

Hey Kirk, thanks for the original post and also for the pic of the car. By chance can you upload a higher resolution copy of that photograph? I would very much like to see the hood ornament. I just picked up an NSKK eagle from John Telesmanich that was used either as a desk ornament or a hood ornament, and I don't know enough to distinguish between the two.
Here's a listing on "Uniforms of the NSDAP" showing a desk eagle (photos farther below): NSKK Desk Eagle
Here is the original listing for the item I purchased (photos below): NSKK Desk Ornament Eagle - Original German Militaria
The only discernable differences between my eagle and that on Jeff's site are the following:
- The lower part of the wing (rounded on mine, vs. angled on Jeff's)
- The base (fully tapered on mine vs. a slight ledge on Jeff's).
My question is whether this is enough of a distinction between the two to suggest a different use, or simply a function of the manufacturer. I'd appreciate any insight you (or others) can offer. TIA
Here are the photos of my eagle:
