SA Reiter Statue

I'm just trying out reduced photos to see if it works, and if so will show more.

Success!
This stands 32 cm and is, I think spelter though very heavy.
The eagle can just be seem on the Kepi but no swastika on the arm band.
On the horses belly is the mark of a crown and the word 'Germany.'
I am unsure if this piece is period or post war. Has anyone seen this kind of statue before?

It's certainly a handsome statue, patterned after others I've seen in this genre. The presence of the word "Germany" indicates that this piece was produced for export, and given the subject matter, I'm not sure what to think about it's creation? But at the right price, it would look fine on a bookshelf in a collector's library!

I've seen one like this (or maybe the same one) years ago offered and I couldn't decide whether it was possibly a prewar design that was modified for postwar sales or ? It seems obvious that this was an SA figure with the Y straps, single shoulder board, and kepi and armband. The SA statues I have all have very distinct armband swastikas so I passed on this one (or its twin). It's not the highest quality cast but its still a handsome piece, no matter when it was made.

Thanks for your comments. It is a difficult piece to read, but as I'm no longer an SA themed collector I'll put it on E-Stand at a mid-way price.
