Description
You are bidding on a STUNNING example of a 100% ORIGINAL WW2 German Wehrmacht Reichsadler Folk Art Stained/Painted Glass Wall Hanging!
During Nazi rule, a stylised eagle combined with the Nazi swastika was made the national emblem (Hoheitszeichen) by order of Adolf Hitler in 1935. Despite its medieval origin, the term “Reichsadler” in common English understanding is mostly associated with this specific Nazi-era version. The Nazi Party had used a very similar symbol for itself, called the Parteiadler (“Party’s eagle”). These two insignia can be distinguished as the Reichsadler looks to its right shoulder whereas the Parteiadler looks to its left shoulder.
After World War II the Federal Republic of Germany re-implemented the eagle used by the Weimar Republic by enactment of President Theodor Heuss in 1950.
In SUPERB used condition, this stained/painted glass wall hanging is an AMAZING piece of history! Featuring the German National Eagle, it consists of a Eagle clutching a swastika. Approx. 16″ x 16″ in size, it features a chain at the top for hanging. Some marks, wear, scratches, and patina, but that is expected, due to the age. An EXCELLENT piece of history, it would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
