The 960mm or 37-3/4 inch tapered round oak stick, crowned by a 1 x 1-1/2 inch nickel plated eagle was the award for a first place in a competition that took place 1939 in Third Reich Germany. We are not sure what competition it was and we also can't tell wether this award was given to a Hitler Youth boy or a member of the Wehrmacht. Besides the eagle the top end is de-corated with two tassels that are held in place by two ribbons, one of them in the colors of Impe-rial Germany and one red and white ribbon with a Nazi State Eagle and the year 1939 and the words "Für Deinen Sieg!" (For Your Victory). Full money-back guarantee for authenticity for this item.
