Description
Product Description: This high gold NSDAP Cap Eagle is an outstanding example that would be virtually impossible to upgrade. This is a top quality, prewar made eagle, made of stamped aluminum. All of the original detail is intact. Both the front and back retain virtually all of the original bright gold finish, with attractive luster and deep color. The surfaces are smooth and clean, with just a tiny amount of what may be adhesive residue on the swastika emblem. There is no wear or any other indication that this eagle was ever affixed to a visor cap. On the reverse, this gorgeous gold NSDAP cap eagle is nicely marked with the round RZM emblem and the maker code “M1/44” indicating manufacture by the firm of C. Dinsel, Berlin. The attachment prongs are flat brass alloy (Tombak) wire, slant cut to form a sharp point at the tip. Each of the three original prongs is neatly held in place with the original crimps, and shows light, normal toning to the raw brass surface, with no extra bends or other issues. This beautiful gold cap eagle is in nearly factory mint condition and would be perfect for completing a hat. It also displays handsomely as a collectible in its own right.
Historical Description: Adolf Hitler was an army veteran in 1919. Frustrated by Germany’s defeat in World War I, he joined a new political organization called the German Workers’ Party. The organization was founded earlier that same year and promoted German nationalism. Members of this organization felt that the Treaty of Versailles was extremely unjust to Germany, by burdening it with reparations it could never pay. Hitler became the leader of this party in 1921 and changed the name to The National Socialist German Workers’ Party; Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP). In 1933, Hitler became chancellor of Germany and his Nazi government soon assumed dictatorial powers. After Germany’s defeat in World War II the Nazi party was outlawed.
