It doesn't look like an old mass produced piece from the 70s etc.

Pretty rough up close.. 2 schools of thought. Some will say these were meant for desks and such and they should be finely detailed pieces of 'art'. Some say the opposite, especially if a late war piece.

- almost looks like it was damaged at bottom and repaired [?]

You know most pole tops look good from afar, they look kind of like this up close. Maybe its a pole top made into a war souvenir.[?].

Have you identified it at all? period photos? manufacture catalog etc.?
