German WWII Dr. Fritz Todt Prize in Silver-This is a rarely encountered example of a second-class Fritz Todt prize. It has lost all of its original silver finish, but is still quite handsome. This large pin in the shape of an eagle with semi-folded wings, looking left, standing on a scroll with the words DR. FRITZ TODT. Beneath the scroll is a swastika in a cog wheel motif. This pin measures 2 ½ inches (6.35cm) tall and just over 1 ½ inches (3.81cm) at the widest point of the wings. It is heavily constructed in a zinc material. The zinc has toned to a nice gray color and retains excellent details. On the reverse is a hinged silver pin with retaining hook running vertically down the center. The pin on this example functions but is very stiff. The reverse retains some of the original silver finish.  I have not had one of these to offer you in quite some time. Overall strong/very good condition. History: In 1938 Fritz became the leader of Organization Todt, which was a para-military build
