Re: Third Reich Officers Iron Cross Paperweight
What's it made out of? It's certainly not a 'standard' item. If the provenance you have is correct then it is very likely privately made. Out of interest, what are the measurements of the EK top to bottom, left to right? It looks like a cast of a genuine medal.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

Re: Third Reich Officers Iron Cross Paperweight
It looks like the eagle was glued onto the the ornament. I believe it was made to stand on the flat portion where the eagle now is attached

Re: Third Reich Officers Iron Cross Paperweight
Completely agree with you Bob. The eagle doesn't look right being there and I can't really see any point to it.

Re: Third Reich Officers Iron Cross Paperweight
Adrian, I could see the eagle placed there so that when it was sitting up on the desk it would be pointed at the person seated. The eagle does look like it's glued on but it's a different material so it could have been drilled and anchored. Sure would like to hear more about it Al, it's an intriguing piece. It looks like metal or bakelite. Oh, I just read all of Bob's comments, he's right, it does appear it was designed to stand up on the flat side.

Re: Third Reich Officers Iron Cross Paperweight
It is a nicely made piece !
Wonder what it is made of ?
Some early type of plastic ? Ceramic ? Clay ?
I too, agree with Bob about the flat side............!

Re: Third Reich Officers Iron Cross Paperweight
Can anyone identify the eagle? What branch or organisation it might be from? Is it a cap badge?
It looks awful.
