    Aluminium Luftwaffe Desk Ornament

    Just acquired this from the son of a 732nd Railroad Battalion veteran. Came with a decent party flag and armband, some German Reichsbahn stuff they wanted to keep because there dad was in railroads. Measures 6 3/4 inches from wing tip to tip. 6 inches tall when complete, as you can see the eagle has broken off. I thought this was a desk ornament, any thoughts?

          I have never seen this type before. Almost looks like a one-off. The eagle isn't very appealing from a design standpoint but the base is nice.

            Yep, too crude to be a standard piece, have even seen POW produced with more detail.

              It could also be "trench art"/GI souviner done made out of aircraft Aluminum. There was "Seabees" trench art (whatever you want to call it) in Europe as well as the Pacific....this could easily be from them as well as POW art or just something "handmade" that was a German desk ornament....

              Certianly very nice, worth "repairing".....I like the "trench-art" quality....
