i think this is a table medal to commemorate the 1938 party day, it just happens to have the same basic design as the flower wars medals

Is there any writing on the reverse? Can you post a shot of the reverse? These were often prizes awarded for the N.S. Kampfspielen victors at the Nurnberg rallies.

Greetings Erik and Knockoffnigel: Thank you for your replies and expertise. There are no markings on the reverse side at all and unfortunately these are the only pictures I took of it . It was for sale but being I did not know what it was , I didn't purchase it. The price was $50.00 ...was that fair??? All the best.

At $50 it was a steal !!!!!!!

Zeke,

$50 is an incredible price for one of these. I would expect a cased table medal like this to go for around $300 or more.

Best Regards,

for some reason a lot of these table medals dont seem to be much sought after, i think if you can find them in their original boxes they are well worth buying, esp. if the price is right!!

Had I been there, I probably would have broken my fingers trying to get the money out of my pocket quick as I could.
The "RK" is for Richard Klein, the sculptor
