        Well, I got it from a friend, who isn´t into 3rd-reich pieces. I will ask him!

        Thank you!

          It's a nice original that is missing its bronze finish. Great that the base is still present also.

            I doubt, that it ever had this bronze finish when I look at this silver finish...but I am really no specialist here.

                Since you can examine it in person, you're probably correct---I thought I saw some faint traces of a bronze color in the photos, but it's probably just age affecting the silvered finish. I've seen some busts, especially smaller ones, with a silvered finish so the color may have been an optional choice.

                  Actually looking at it again--is that overspray on one side of the bottom edge of the base? If it is, it may be repainted. Not a big deal on a zinc based bust.

                      One of my favorite stores to go shopping!
                      The arrowed bust looks like it has a pony tail. More stylish than Göring's man-bun.

                          Hello, For comparison, a picture of my bust, with your only color is gone, the original were "dark green" painted, you can even see color leftovers in yours

                          Regards
