Ground Dug Lifesize Bust Adolf Hitler by Theodor Linz
Rare lifesize bust of the Führer Adolf Hitler found in Poland in a basement under coal. Bust is complete but without the original marble base and with corrosion due to the humidity. However it can be cleaned with oxalyc acid so as to remove most of the rusty coating. The maker mark can still be seen "Th. Linz - München", which means it was designed and originally sculpted by well known sculptor Theodor Linz and manufactured in Munich. Excellent example of a lifesize bust of Adolf Hitler that was occult for 7 decades. Many collectors are looking for such kind of busts of Hitler in a market that has grown a lot lately.
