Product Description: This Swastika Flag Pole Top has a bold and striking look. It’s made of a single piece of solid aluminum, and measures 5″ tall and 4″ wide. It is in the form of a mobile Nazi swastika emblem, atop a round sleeve with a recess for a flag pole. The aluminum surface never had any paint, and instead has a bright polish. The metal is fairly clean, with some typical light marks that do not detract from the overall appearance, but nothing that could be characterized as damage. The socket for the flag pole has a single screw hole for fastening. There are no markings; this is likely an early piece that predates RZM standardization and controls. This Swastika Flag Pole Top is a scarce and desirable piece, that displays very well. The condition of this piece rates as excellent plus.
Historical Description: Virtually all of the myriad military, civil, political and paramilitary uniformed organizations in existence during the Third Reich had their own flags and standards as part of their organizational regalia. The flags were carried in parades and rallies. In addition to the special flags, most organizations had special pole tops specific to that group, to further distinguish their unique standards. The pole tops often bore either National eagles, organizational emblems, or typical Third Reich patriotic motifs. The emblem would be atop a sleeve into which the flagpole (generally a wood pole with a black finish) would fit. These were designed to be visually impressive pieces of regalia and are often very eye-catching. Most Third Reich pole tops did not survive the war or its aftermath.
