Description: | A small modern lead alloy seal, probably originating from a bag or bale. The seal is roughly circular and bi-face. There is a small projection on the top edge of the seal and (now flattened) holes running through the seal from edge to edge. Depicted on one side in relief is a spread eagle holding an encircled swastika motif in its talons. This appears to be the same motif as that used on German Army Uniforms. On the other side in relief is the text Staadt Kontrolle in rounded cursive lettering. This suggests that the seal is of German origin, and was probably used on official Army supplies. The seal has a dark grey patina.
