Monumental Nazi table or mantle monument.
While surely commercially made and therefore not technically "unique", we have never seen another of these.
It is hollow cast in an alloy, surmounted by an eagle with the typical faux-bronze finish that these desk eagles usually exhibit, but the rest of the monument has a distinct faux-limestone finish, making it truly like a monument.
The details of the swastika, and the word "Deutschland" below it are highlighted in black, providing a dramatic contrast to the stone finish.
Such a piece would certainly have graced the table or desk of only the most dedicated of National Socialists.

Offered for sale is a very nice original example of a Third Reich Nazi eagle table decoration.
There were a variety of Hoheitsadler (official NSDAP term for the Nazi eagle) that where mounted on every official building or place of significance for the Nazi Party.
The table decoration that is offered here is a very detailed gold plated copy of the huge eagle at the Luitpoldarena on the Nuremberg Reich Party Day Grounds by sculptor Kurt Schmid-Ehmen, one of the most talented sculptors in Nazi Germany.
The eagle is 255 mm (about 9 3/4 inch) tall including the stone base, it has a wingspan of 150mm (about 6 inch).
This gold Nürnberg desk eagles was probably a more expensive variant; the details are outstanding and the gold finish is mostly intact even after nearly 70 years.
The eagle is mounted on a low-base made of white/grey coloured marble.
The vast majority of these eagles are found with a bronze or silver finish, this being the first example in gold that we have had the opportunity to acquire.

Nuremberg Desk Eagle Variation.
This scarce style of desk eagle is one of the more striking variations, with the eagle standing on a square, un-wreathed swastika and holding its wings back rather than straight at its sides.
The eagle itself is of typical construction, being moulded of dull grey alloy, then brightly silver-plated and varnished.
Where the finish has worn off, the eagle has taken on a tarnished tone.
This specimen is mounted on a two-tiered cream marble base, which at one time had an engraved plaque on the lower portion, and a wreathed swastika on the upper portion (the holes and outlines from these mountings remain).
The eagle has been rotated for display purposes, leaving these marks on the reverse.
The eagle is 240 mm (about 9 1/4 inch) tall including two step stone base, it has a wingspan of 125mm (about 5 inch).

This is a scarce variation of desk eagle which differs rather radically from the standard "Nuremberg" eagle, with its straight lines and art deco design.
This design is much more fluid, most noticeably in the wing feathers, and is sometimes referred to by collectors as the "spread wing" variation.
This handsome example retains much of its rich silver finish and original varnish coating, and is mounted on a two-tier red marble base.
The eagle is 200 mm (about 8 inch) tall including two step stone base, it has a wingspan of 178 mm (about 7 inch).

This is a magnificent and rare Luftwaffe desk eagle.
It represents the later pattern of Luftwaffe eagle in flight, and sits atop a two-tiered red marble plinth.
The eagle is finished in a rich silvered coating, and is beautifully detailed both front and back.
