Large NSDAP Cardboard Eagle

[jim10011]

Is it possible to definitely authenticate something like this? Seems anyone with the proper skill set could easily fake it. After all it's just cardboard and paint. It's 39 inches (98 cm) wide and 23.5 inches (60 cm) tall.

I wouldn't say easily replicated....Would need some sort of two piece dies (since it's made in sections).....Something to place the paper/cardboard into and form the images....That would take a fair amount of skill to manufacture....

It looks like it has some aging to it, so could be a period item...A disposable item since it was made of paper....Bodes

That worked thank you. That one is slightly larger (110cm vs 98cm for the one I posted).

Thank you Michael for posting that informative advert that shows different sizes of cardboard typed eagles were available in an aluminum foiled cover. These are nice pieces and a different purpose, most likely for indoor use for retail or other purposes, unlike the train eagles.

Its mentioned for inside in Schirting Material and outside weather resisting Hydrocin paper (what ever this is).

Its mentioned for inside in Schirting Material and outside weather resisting Hydrocin paper (what ever this is).

I showed a part of an advertisement about these cardboard eagles in my book about RR eagles (page 53).
The advertisement I showed was from Karl Winkler from Dresden.
I gave no further information as this type was not the subject for the book.

Schirling is not mentioned in Google, but Hydrocin is.
