Two German Second War Adolf Hitler Presentation Photograph Frames.
Two identical official photograph frames from the office of Adolf Hitler, designed by Professor Gerdy Troost and manufactured by the high quality jewellers the Brothers Franz and Hermann Wandinger. Both frames measure 342mm x 240mm, the inner frame with three steps in a hand hammered finish overall, the lower plate having to the centre the outspread winged national eagle and swastika with the letters ‘AH’ to either side of the central swastika. To the edge of this lower plate is the art deco style Greek key decoration. Both frames are maker and silver content stamped ‘FHW’ within a block, the German silver half moon with the silver number ‘925’ to one of the frames, to the other frame identical markings but also with the state silver marking of Munich. Both frames are with their brown/dark maroon grained leather back section with a folding stand, slight scuffs to the leather on both of the frames, complete with all of their closing catches. Both the frames are fitted with quality copies of contemporary Hoffman photographs of Adolf Hitler with facsimile signatures, both in excellent condition and highly desirable (2) £8,000-£12,000

Note: These presentation frames were presented with a long dedication or a simple Adolf Hitler signature on the original photographs and they were presented fitted within a very high quality red/maroon casket, with large silvered eagle to the front, the casket manufactured by the famous leather artisan Frieda Thiersch. They were presented to high ranking officials of the NSDAP, military dignitaries, and to foreign personalities who showed support to the Third Reich.
