    Guys,

    Any ideas what this is?

    I believe it to be a German banner or pike top, which l understand that my Father found in the back of a German lorry that they took for a joy ride when released in April/May 1945. Apparently, the contents of the lorry were being ditched in a lake at the time the lorry was taken.

    Any ideas?

    Regards,

    Nick

    It certainly looks like a banner/flag topper - from the size probably for a regimental flag carried. Other examples.

    However, the eagle is odd

    I agree.

    Very different from anything else l have seen which l hope may age or identify it.

    Any other ideas who may know?

    Regards,

    Nick
