Re: Eagle tie pin
An early eagle pin of Assmann & Söhne, is a scarce piece and valuable
The pin latch has been added, this eagle was gifted with a stickpin
Very little 2,2 cm ( 7/8 inch ) wingspam
The eagle pin that Hitler shows in many photographs was made by Assmann

Re: Eagle tie pin
I think the pin is original I found others like it online. This was brought back by a veteran
Re: Eagle tie pin
These came as stick pins or lapel pins, this one appears cast....which I personally don't like.... They are scarce but not particularly rare. This one wouldn't be for me. I have two or three variants (different sizes) and in .900 silver....

Re: Eagle tie pin
John, where do you buy your stuff? Things must be over priced online.
Re: Eagle tie pin
I've been a collector/dealer for over 60 years.... I seldom buy from websites, usually buy at my flea market where I set up, and pay what I consider a realistic price and sell what I don't keep for a realistic price... There's still plenty of stuff out there, but you have to know what's real and what's not.
We're the ones who control the value of this stuff.... Don't overpay..... It's valueless to 90% of the people out there. Collect for a "love" of the history, not the money. I'd still collect if the stuff was worthless.

Check local antique shops and flea markets, advertise locally, attend gun shows and military shows, etc., Do displays, etc. etc. You'll get your share.

Re: Eagle tie pin
Assmann was manufacturer of this kind of eagles very early
Source ; "F.W. Assmann & Söhne was of course, one of the premier manufacturers of Nazi Party and military belt buckles, insigne, badges, medals, orders, etc. Assmann held the assigned RZM M1 contractor number 17 "

Re: Eagle tie pin
The stickpins and buttonhole eagles as worn by Hitler were made in gold. They most certainly were not run-of-the-mill or mass produced items. The fact the Assmann was one of manufacturers of eagle pins does not mean those belonging to A.H. were made by them. In fact-looking at the cut outside arms corners on the swastika would actually exclude the one from their catalog as those worn by Hitler (which featured full armed swastikas, at least those that survived).
