Do you really think this is okay, likewise with the white Robin Hood-cap?
No discoloring of the white at all (nor with the Roman number) even after more then 80 years!!

Found quite some photos with headgear worn during the Olympic Games in 1936, musicians, men attending the games in their white uniforms and also these two:
photo one is Obvious: the man sold cards;
photo 2: girls from the Olympia Jugend-Ehrendienst.

in addition to my earlier post. Of course also boys served for the Ehrendienst.
This is Obvious with this photo where a special triangle was worn (photo credit: C. Ulber).

Hello Olympic Fans.. does anyone know if this pin is a fantasy item or a known good item?

Thank you,
Scott

I believe this is the German Equestrian Olympic fund raiser badge for the 1952 Olympics rather than 1936 but it's often attributed to 1936, there was a badge issued in '36 but it is different from this. They raised funds to support the Equestrian team at several Olympics. I only found this out by researching it a bit because I was tempted to buy one myself.

Here is an item from my collection.

Hi Bek, does your Olympic Participation Medal case have any markings on the outside? Very unique case. I’ve never seen one like this before.

rare box

hello
for my opinion the box is not for this medal! the round for the medal is more big!
best regards

Thanks Patrick, I very well think you’re correct as I have only seen these issued within a red, circular, cardboard case.

Hello!!! Простите за долгое молчание. Я редко захожу в этот раздел. Я купил у Ниманна. Подскажите, какая медаль должна быть в такой коробке? Выемка в коробке точно под медаль, без зазоров. Буду признателен.

There are no good measuring instruments nearby, just an old ruler.
