Even though my main focus of collecting revolves around collecting paperwork groups of the various Kampfgeschwader of the Luftwaffe, I have always wanted to add an Ehrenpokal to my collection.
Consequently, I decided to keep a look out for an example, preferably to a DKiG holder to one of the many Kampfflieger who were awarded these items.
Luckily, I eventually noticed that 'Giel's Militaria' had the perfect example I was looking for; Oberfeldwebel Adolf Bäumer dated 07-05-1942 while serving with 1./Kampfgeschwader 3. Bäumer, a Flugzeugführer, was also awarded the DKiG on 09-09-1942, while still serving with 1./Kampfgeschwader 3. With some nice photographs and a small goblet from 1./Kampfgeschwader 3, I was very happy this was the right example to go for.
The Ehrenpokal is now residing on my collection, and I thought I might post here accordingly. The images are from Giel's site, and are posted here with his full permission. I have to say that Giel is one of the most professional dealers I have ever dealt with, and I would definatly buy from him again without reservation.
Anyway, I hope the images might prove of interest to those here, and here we go.......
Starting with a shot of the whole grouping.....
