Hi gents !
Got this plaque from Germany today, it's an plaque that according to the seller hanged in one of the buildings of Hermann Göring Werke in Salzgitter.
It's made of iron, the weight is 3,5 kg, 30,5 x 20,5 cm and almost 3cm thick.

Unique, but I like it.... didn't realize this was the Trademark of the HGW- (or only this particular factory?)....surprised it's so under stated...(Non-political)..... and interesting that the date is 1 month after the begining of the war....(maybe that's why understated)...

I borrowed this pic on Ebay, there is photo and many others of Hermann Göring Werke's office in Berlin currently for sale there.
By the end of 1941 the Reichswerke became the largest company in Europe and probably in the whole world, with a capital of 2.4 billion reichsmarks and about half a million workers.
The logo of the Reichswerke, resembling Göring's own coat of arms.
Here is a link for more information of the reichswerke:
