NSDAP pole top, thoughts please.

[Tinhatman]

Hi have just picked up this NSDAP pole top for what I would consider to be a reasonable price in my limited novice opinion. These are the best photos I have until its arrival from the Netherlands. What are your thoughts please. It is sold as early NSDAP flag pole top. I have bought quite a few items from this particular seller and all have been confirmed to be genuine period on here.

Any information appreciated

Kind regards
Andrew

Hello Andrew,
It looks quite believable. I would happily have it in my collection,
Somewhere I have a chrome swastika in a circle without a base and wondered what it may have come off so I think I have found the answer.
Below is a picture of just one flag and accoutrements dealer in the TR period so I assume there are many other variants.
All the best
Doug

Hi Doug,

Many thanks for your response and the attached photo. I have found some images on an internet search which showed similar design and construction. I suppose these weren’t manufacturer stamped.

Nice early Pole Top, made of Nickel plated non-ferrous metal.

Thanks Sammler, I’ll post some photos once it arrives. It’ll be a nice addition to the collection.

IMO an original early pole top!

Such pole tops have been used also by the SA in early times

Thanks ivbaust and Thankyou for the attached image. Is there a book available that you know of on the subject?

[ivbaust]

A good book is from Wilhelm Saris. The main topic is TR gorgets, but it also features information about flags and pole tops. But it’s available in German language only.
