This is a wartime slightly vaulted steel building warning \u003cem\u003eEmailleschild\u003c\/em\u003e (enameled sign). This is a very robust well-made sturdy sign, with typical construction details of German government signage. It is white with a large black NSDAP Party \u003cem\u003eReichsadler\u003c\/em\u003e (National Eagle) in the background, and has a black border around the edge. The German warning text on the front reads:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(NSDAP Reichsadler)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEINGANG\u003cbr\u003eVERBOTEN\u003cbr\u003eAuer Berlin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Eingang Verboten\" translates exactly to \"Entrance Forbidden,\" which would be used in any number or restricted locations in NSDAP Germany. It was made by Auer in Berlin, a large manufacturer of Gas Masks and other items during the War. Condition is very good, with a bit of enamel loss and rusting at the edges, and also two of the four corners have a bit of missing enamel. The rear is still in very good shape, with only a bit of enamel flaking and rusting. The sign measures 11 1\/2\"W x 12 1\/2\"H, and is really a great example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigns of this nature were quickly destroyed after the fall of Germany in April 1945, ones like this were salvaged by USGIs who wanted to bring home a trophy of war. Therefore, finding authentic (beware many fakes) porcelain building signs from the Third Reich has become quite difficult in the collector's market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39468595806277,"sku":"ONSV21WOS49","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ONSV21WOS49__01.jpg?v=1629434194","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-nsdap-entrance-forbidden-emailleschild-enameled-warning-sign-11-1-2-x-12-1-2","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
