This pole topper is in the form of a Nazi mobile swastika emblem in a circle, atop a ball and sleeve for the flag pole. One side of the sleeve has a screw hole to secure this pole top to the pole. There is one small dent on one side of the ball. There are no markings to note. This Swastika Flag Pole Top is a visually impressive display object, that 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.
