    Hitler buste ? fake ?

    Hi, a seller contacted me about this piece, he says its 20cm high, weighs 2kgs and is made of marble, and there is a makers name wich says schin.... and rest he is not able to read...

    I think it looks more like a plaster made copy that is painted, but when i asked this he said he's 100% sure its marble or some kind of stone?
    opinions wouldt be great

    Looks like a casting from a Schmidt-Hofer bust. Postwar I would say. Also, it's not marble but more likely either a resin with alabaster powder or simply plaster.

      Looks like you might be right Erich.
      Alabast is harder than plaster and more stone like isnt it ? That wouldt fit why seller says its stone.

      when looking at it, i noticed the swastika is facing the wrong way.

        Bust

        I agree with Erich - besides the material used, the quality is exceedingly poor - hardly the quality you'd expect.

          As mentioned, it's a rather bad copy of a Schmidt-Hofer Bust.

            I think as far as I can see the swastika on the tie clasp is side reversed ?

              What a piece of junk.

              Is that "seller" from Germany or even a member here?
