Nuremberg 1929 Reichsparteitag Nonportable Award (cased) (Item PARTEI 4-1)

DESCRIPTION: This is one of the sharpest-looking of any of the early awards of the NSDAP. It’s the commemorative award for one of the earliest party rallies in “Der Stadt der Reichsparteitag” Nuremberg. It’s a cased plaque that’s of silver-plated brass with an early style helmet pictured with an eagle and swastika perched upon the top. The dates 1914-1919 are also seen with the large words “Partei-tag 1929” and of course the letters spelling “Nürnberg is across the top. The badge was established on 15 August 1929, by the commander of the SA in commemoration of the Fourth Party Rally held in Nuremberg on 1/4 August 1929. As a badge it was worn continuously thereafter as an honor badge and was officially recognized as such in a Führer decree of 6 November 1936. All NSDAP members who had attended the rally were entitled to wear the badge. Additionally, as offered here, was a cased nonportable award measuring 35 mm wide by 80 mm high produced in bronze, silver, or gold plating. The one we have is the silver-plated version. This is thought to have been awarded for high achievement in efforts to organize the rally. The reverse side of this cased award bears the manufacturer’s name Hoffstätter Bonn. The case has the embossed letters that spell out “Reichsparteitag Nürnberg 1929. It’s covered with smooth-grained maroon leather with the upper interior lid in white satin and the lower interior portion in grey velvet. This is one of the most impressive-looking awards of the Reich. It’s extremely rare in this condition or any condition. Don’t buy it! We love it!

Huge Carved Nuremberg Stadium Eagle (Item PARTEI 4-2; NSD 16-1; ART 15-1)

DESCRIPTION: Here is a fantastic wood carving of the “Nürnberg ReichsparteitagAdler, or stadium eagle. It’s modeled after the massive eagles that sat at either end of the grand columns that stood surrounding Hitler’s podium in the Luitpoldarena of the Nuremberg Party Rally grounds. The eagles were designed by the famous artist Kurt Schimd-Ehmen. See the original bronze casting of these eagles offered at PARTEI 2-10. This wooden eagle and an even larger one were recently found in eastern Germany. We are not sure of the original intent and application of these wooden examples, but in speculative theory we might even say that they could have been original-design manifestations by Schmid-Ehmen, himself, or, could they be made for an over-the-door decoration for an SA or headquarters or even an office of the NSDAP (Nazi Party)? Could it have been a table decoration for a special room within the governmental system, or could they have been simply just a magnificent artistic effort of some excellent woodcarver for some special exposition of Volkskunst (folk art)? We may never know, but we do know that the Schmid-Ehmen eagles caused a great stir among the German people when first unveiled in “Special Somber Ceremony.” Immediately various pictures, bronzes, plaster, and wooden depictions of them were produced and sold. These eagles were revered symbols of the strong and vibrant people whose agenda was the return of the mighty Reich of Karl der Grosse, a Reich that brought forward the glories of ancient Rome, but ruled land governed by the “Herrenvolk,” the ideological heirs of Imperium. If anything represented all of this to the German people it was personified in the visage of these great stadium eagles. The piece is magnificently carved with all the magnificent detail of the original. It is huge, but not as huge as the other one still in Germany and we are trying to procure that one, as well. The size of this one is 27 inches high including the 3-inch-high base. The wingspan is 29 inches. The wreath containing the swastika is 8 inches wide. The wood employed seems to be European oak. I can’t imagine any relic of the Reich being so downright impressive and beautiful. Of all the various and glamorous art pieces of the Reich nothing was more “Germanic” than the wooden masterpieces of “Volkskunst.” Imagine “this” in your den.

Official Bronze Bowl from Foyer of a Government Building in Nuremberg (Item PARTEI 4-3; ART 15-3)

DESCRIPTION: This handsome bronze bowl is the type used in various government buildings throughout the Reich, and especially in the Reichsparteitag city of Nuremberg. The center design is the famous Parteitag eagle by Kurt Schmid-Emen. For an explanation of these eagles go to Item PARTEI 2-10. Here you will not only see similar eagles in bronze, but also you will see the story of how we managed to procure several great bronze articles from a company that simply refused to surrender any of the articles of Third Reich artistic value to the conquerors. The articles were safely hidden away by this courageous firm located in the town of Gleiwitz; a town known for iron and bronze art pieces for hundreds of years. The particular company was the Bergwerk Hutten, but it is called by a completely different name now. The town had a fabulous history. Be sure to read it on our pages. The bowl is large and in genuine bronze patinated in a greenish-bronze color. The feet are “Siegrunes” similar as used by the Hitler Youth and the . The diameter of the bowl is about 10 1/2 inches and it is about 1 1/2 inches deep. The eagle is in great raised detail fully dimensional with a wingspan of above 6 inches and is about 6 1/2 inches high. This is really a handsome relic of the “Dritten Reich.” The bowls would be placed in a setting of honor seen as one would enter one of the NS buildings and one would put his personal card in it and the cards would be collected on the hour. There are no markings on the piece as to the manufacturer, but it is definitely by the famous Hutten Bergwerk foundry in Gleiwitz. We were able to procure four of these beautiful bowls and when they are gone there will be no more unless you are able to get one from a veteran. “Anything is possible!” We have priced them very reasonably.

PRICE: $1,350.00
