A miniature stickpin depicting an eagle with wings spread wide, perched above a roundel bearing a swastika. The eagle and disc are rendered in a metal appearing to be gilt or gilt-washed, mounted on a slender pin shaft. This style of small stickpin was worn on lapels and civilian dress as an emblem of political affiliation during the Third Reich period.
Small eagle-and-swastika stickpins of this type were widely produced and sold during the Nazi era for wear on civilian clothing, signalling political allegiance or Party sympathy outside of formal uniform contexts. The national eagle atop a swastika was the standard state emblem of the Third Reich from 1933 onward, appearing across countless official and commercial items, badges, and insignia. Such lapel pins were mass-marketed to the general public and Party members alike, distinct from official service or membership badges issued through NSDAP organisational channels.
