Large sized 'Adolf Hitler' Bronze Bust

Description

This is a nice original period 'Adolf Hitler' Bronze Bust (Büste des Reichskanzlers Adolf Hitler). The heavy quality, about twice life size, Bust is signed by a sculptor named 'J.Haigis' (Julius Haigis) in the neck and also bearing the manufacturer's mark "Guss - G. Schmäke D'df" of Gustav Schmäke from Düsseldorf. Mounted on a dark brown/black marble pedestal. The total weight of the bust and pedestal is approximately 32,5 kgs, the height is circa 56cms. This Bust originally stood in the entrance hall of the 'Gerichtsgebäude Stuttgart' (Courthouse from Stuttgart). The black&white photo is showing the facade of the Stuttgart State Courthouse, the courthouse was completely destroyed by allied bombing in September 1944, the Bust was taken as a souvernir from the ruins of the Courthouse. This is a high quality period Bronze Bust in very good condition, extremely rare and hard to find in this size!

Shipping: due to the heavy weight being over 30kgs 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.
