NSDAP Pole Top

Product Description: This NSDAP Pole Top is a choice example of an extremely impressive and desirable artifact, that could be the centerpiece of a display. This pattern of eagle was used to adorn Nazi Party standard poles, and features a bold and striking looking German national political eagle and swastika emblem, executed in a fashion that is reminiscent of the eagles used to adorn railway cars. It’s made of aluminum, and shows only extremely minor wear, with full original detail and nice surfaces on both the front and back of the eagle. There are some very minor marks here and there, as well as a very light age patina in the recesses. The swastika emblem retains nearly all of the original black paint on the front, which accentuates the design. The socket for the flag pole is intact, with some roughness to the surface that may be the result of corrosion that was cleaned at some point in the past. The socket fitting is correctly maker marked with the round RZM logo, as well as a manufacturer code. This NSDAP Pole Top is a scarce original example. It remains in excellent condition.

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.
