There is a 835 silver honor goblet to a general major who was also an oakleaves recipient on this site:

As a general question, is this price rather high for such a goblet, or reasonable for a generalmajor who is also an oaks winner? I have a 835 goblet to a bomber pilot who was a RK winner. Any ideas of the current price of a goblet such as this these days? Thank you for any information.

Luftwaffe Honor Goblet (Ehrenpokal) & Photograph Grouping belonging to Oakleaves to the Knight's Cross Recipient Luftwaffe Generalmajor Ludwig Schulz. This superb grouping was originally obtained in Germany from the family of the original recipient, Luftwaffe Generalmajor and Oakleaves to the Knight's Cross recipient Ludwig Schulz. Silver goblet is maker marked, "Joh. Wagner & Sohn" and silver content marked with half moon, crown, "835" and stick figure eagle on the bottom of the goblet which shows only light age patina to the pebbled finish of the bowl with one tiny ding to the lower edge of base, but no dents or depressions. Obverse of the bowl shows two eagles in aerial combat while the reverse bears the 1939 Iron Cross.
Both of these designs as well as the oak leaves on the stem of the base are in repoussé relief. On the plain band below the oak leaf is the recipient's name, rank, and date of award, "Major Ludwig Schultz am 8. 7. 40 ". Around the circumference of the base in repoussé relief are the words, "Für Besonder Leistung im Luftkrieg" (For Outstanding Achievement in the Air War). The pokal, with the date "8. 7. 40" is one of, if not the first, Pokal awarded. It is believed that only 240 Oakleaves recipients also received the Ehrenpokal.. Generalmajor Schultz was born in Lissa near Possen on 04 August 1896 and, as a Major commanding I Gruppe Kampfgeschwader 76, was awarded the Knight's Cross on 16 August 1940 (97th recipient) for his bravery during a low level air attack on Paris in which, although severely wounded, he took control of the aircraft after the pilot was killed and safely landed the aircraft thus saving the lives of the entire crew. As a Generalmajor, he was awarded the Oakleaves on 19 February 1945 (747th recipient) for his bravery as Kampfgruppenführer of a combat team of Panzer troops and Luftwaffe Officer Candidates from Luftkriegsschule 5, north of Breslau, which eliminated a Russian bridgehead.
