Cast metal relief plaque with bronze patina, depicting two German figures; an SA man in field cap and a World War I soldier wearing an M16 helmet divided by a central cross backed by a German eagle. The lower section bears the raised inscription Unser Tod – Euer Leben which translates to Our death for your life . The composition symbolizes the ideological link between the fallen of the Great War and the new movement of the early 1930s. Unsigned or faintly marked “A./O. Jacobi” near lower right edge. The plaque is large sized 47 x 60 centimeters. Heavy metal base with bronzed surface, showing age-related oxidation and wear. Approx. early to mid-1930s production, likely intended as a local memorial or NS veteran commemorative piece. It is too big and heavy to ship so pickup is a MUST. There is one portion missing on the left centre but both figures are still intact. This is a impressive cast relief plaque, for sure a centre piece in any collection!
