Swastika Bronze Ceiling Light from Home of Nazi Gauleiter. This is a very special ceiling light fixture which was taken out of the home of a German Third Reich Gauleiter many years ago. The round ring of the main part of the fixture has cut out swastikas and is made of what we think is bronze or brass. The glass globe is in excellent condition and is held in place by metal screws and can be removed. It hangs from its original multi pieced chain which attached to a top plate that's decorated with a swastika. The original wiring is still present in part, but the previous owner spliced in a modern wiring harness to make it functional in a collection room. The piece came from a very large political collection in Germany and was removed from the home of a Gauleiter many years ago. The name of the Gauleiter is not known to us. The overall length of the piece is 25 inches. There are 3 light sockets. 10 inches circumference.
