This is a nice original period 'Adolf Hitler' Bronze Bust (Büste des Reichskanzlers Adolf Hitler). The heavy quality, twice life size, bust is signed by the famous sculptor named 'Th.Linz' (Theodor Linz) in the neck and also bearing the mark "Ausf. G. Wagner" from München. Theodor Linz was a Nazi party member, SA man, and early fighter with Hitler and his brown shirts in the 1920's. Hitler himself stood model for Theodor Linz, one of his works from the Linz series was installed in the Brauner Haus in 1935. In Hitler's opinion, the busts for which Hitler personally represented were the best by Prof. Ferdinand Liebermann, Theodor Linz, Hedwig Maria Ley and Hans Schwegerle (See Henry Picker, Hitler's Table Talks, page 263). The bust is mounted on a 12cms high stone pedestal, the bronze buste is 40cms high (see photo with mess kit for size comparison). The total weight of the bust and pedestal is approximately 25kgs, the total height is approximately 52cms. The bust is showing a beautiful patina and is in untouched and uncleaned condition. This is the largest Hitler bust I've ever encountered, this is a truly rare and impressive piece of Third Reich Propaganda!

Shipping: due to the heavy weight being over 25kgs this Bust can't be shipped. Pick-up at a show only! Besides most Dutch shows I can bring the Bust to some German or Belgium shows.
