Hi Mike,

The Ehrenpokal was awarded for first victories for all aircrew until late in the war, when a steel version was presented instead of silver. Yours would date to the 1915-17 period. Silver ones are more desirable, but getting one with attribution such as the award document is most preferred. I have one awarded to my uncle early in 1918. It is the steel version, but fortunately comes with the document. These are not common, so I would jump on it for a good price.
