Metal Eagle but what for?

[dasboot2011]

Hi all,

Any thoughts on what this eagle was for? Perhaps a desk display? Measured 4 inches and 5/8s across. No markings on it. Heavy patina on reverse and hole from the mount it was broken off of.

Yes, probably mounted for display. It is an original piece. The same style was also available for desk pieces.

Mil & Castle are spot-on, textbook original wall plaque eagle- that can also be found as desk pieces, this photo from the net shows one with the dedication,

Awesome thank you!

Thanks everyone. Too bad the plaque and dedication are mia.

Do I assume correctly that this type of piece was used for Heer plaques, as opposed to Political commemorations?
