ADOLF HITLER BRONZE FIGURE.
A very good and highly detailed bronze coloured metal figure of the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler standing at about 11 inches or 27cm in height and dating to about 1935.This is an early depiction of the Fuhrer wearing brown shirt political uniform with swastika arm band and wearing his WW1 awards.The original painted finish shows slight wear to the high points but it is still at least 95% remaining.The Figure is mounted on a marble plinth. Most figures of the Fuhrer are the bust type featuring head and shoulders it is exceptionally unusual to find a complete figure. I have seen reproductions of this figure produced in bronze coloured resin for the antiques trade but this is 100% original metal example from the period of the Third Reich. [Condition: Exc++]
