MEDALS - 186 - 26097 - Old Fighter’s Medallion

This Old Fighter’s Medallion is about 2 ¼ inches in diameter. It appears to be made of perhaps a silvered zinc base. It has a Political style, half-open-winged eagle, which clutches a wreathed mobile swastika. The bird looks to the viewer’s right, and is nicely detailed. Around the bird is the writing, “15 Jahre kampf um Ingolstadt dem alten Kämpfer”. This, to me, seems to signify that there was a 15 year meeting of the Old Fighter’s from the Party held in Ingolstadt. The reverse of the medallion has the raised-out, 6-line inscription, “Zer Errinerung/an/15. Jahresfeier/gewidmet von der/stadt Ingolstadt/11.12.1937”. Again, this hints at the same thing, indicating it is a gift of the remembrance of the 15 year reunion held in the city of Ingolstadt, on the Dezember 11, 1937. I have never seen one of these before, and can’t find it in any books. I am making a guess at its value. Excellent Plus (26097) $195.00

MEDALS - 187 - 26359C - Medallion Commemorating Imperial Pilot Oswald Boelcke

This impressive medallion is about 3 ½ inches in diameter. It appears to have been struck in bronze. The obverse has a raised bust of a profile of the great Imperial flyer, Oswald Boelcke. The details to his face are excellent, and this is a fine image of the man. He wears his Imperial tunic, and it is easy to see the Blue Max medal hanging from the throat area. Around the perimeter is the raised-out wording, “Oswald Boelcke 28.Oktober.1916”. There are Iron Crosses, which separate the man’s name, from his date of death. The image was apparently designed by the man’s name, which appears beneath the bust, “K.Goetz”. On the reverse, there is an Imperial single-winged airplane, complete with an Iron Cross under the wing, and above it, an eagle flying, and also an angel superimposed over the airplane. Around the perimeter of the medallion are the words, “Kampf. in. den Lvften”. I assume that these were words that designated the death of the fighter. The detail throughout this depiction is also outstanding. This would be a great medallion to display with other World War 1 aircraft memorabilia. As most people know, Boelcke was very famous, and was one of the original German flyers to make good during World War 1. He, of course, won the Blue Max, and at the time he won it, I believe a pilot only needed 15 confirmed kills, which later was raised to 21. A fine item here which is relatively rare.Excellent, Plus (26359-C) $495.00

MEDALS - 216 - 24836 - Cased Imperial First Class Iron Cross

This Iron Cross case is a fine black leatherette having rounded corners. The leatherette shows some mild age, but there are no wear spots in the fabric. The border is also line decorated. Inside the center area of the lid, the Cross image is embossed in gold. Usually, these will be silver. I understand when the embossing is in gold, the Cross was personally given by the Kaiser.

The beautiful bottom of the case is a high pile purple velvet with the slot left for the reverse pin. The Cross itself is nicely patinated throughout.

The bottom of the open case reveals a beautiful royal purple velvet color having a slot to accommodate the pin of the Cross. The Cross itself is a bright silver example which shows little patination.

This, of course, translates to Silver Wound Badge. There is also old ink writing on the upper portion of the badge indicating it is a Silver Wound example. This was done probably years ago, but since it is in English, must have been done by a collector. The badge itself is the solid zinc type. It still has silvering which covers about 2/3’s of the outer border, and it is also evident on the raised-out swastika as well as on the grips of both of the swords. This silvering rates at about 30% to 40% . The badge consists of an oval wreath bordered by overlapping oak leaves.

MEDALS - 223 - HORSEMAN’S BRONZE BADGE

MEDALS - 226 - DOCTOR FRITZ TODT SILVER MEDAL WITH MINIATURE STICK PIN FOR LAPEL

It features a large Party type eagle with half open wings, resting over a box with the raised out name, "Doctor Fritz Todt". The box is positioned over a gear wheel which is vaulted out of a cog wheel design. This depiction is very, very impressive. The reverse has a fairly large pin which is a tapered flat type with barrel fitting and a cup device which keeps it closed. The pin runs the entire length of this large medal. It is quite heavy and therefore, I could see why it would need this long pin. The stick pin which comes with it is an exact duplicate in every way. It is fitted to a stick pin which has a serrated body so that it would not come loose from the wearer's lapel. These awards are quite rare and this is the first set that I have had the pleasure to offer.
