These are all beautiful looking pieces. For what reasons were they awarded, or were they available for purchase as collector pieces as well as awards?

Regards
Russell

Rick, Smile I'm not sure! I've had it for some time but can not nail it down. Has something to do with buildings, possibly construction or architecture, investigation and or research.

Congrats on those two latest awards you posted!

Here is an interesting cased non-portable award for qualification of a Police Dog named "Aster".

Notice the Polizei Verein logo making up the first letter in the description.

Hello,
Again guys, beautiful non portables you have. I’d like to show a few that I’ve picked up lately. First up is a NSFK cased medallion for a North East German competition in sightseeing.
Next is a plaque for a 1937 flight by Motorgruppe Schlesein around upper Silesia.
The next one is for an endurance test drive by the Berlin Brandenburg DDAC
The last one I show for now is one I have not seen for sale before & other than an article I found in an academic journal cannot find out anything else about it. I have attached relevant part of the article relating to the medallion. I am sorry for the length of the information regarding it. If anyone can tell me anything else about it or has one I’d love to see it also. It is quite a heavy item for it’s size, weighing in at just under 7 ounces and it’s diameter is roughly 2 ½ inches. Here is an excerpt from the article mentioning this medallion:
“In May 1938, Filippo Sgarlata minted a medallion in honor of Adolf Hitler’s state visit to Rome, Naples, and Florence. Its theme is triumph over a monstrous foe. On one side, a Winged Victory carries a swastika and a fascio littorio in her arms, flanked by the inscription Vis Unita Fortior (Power is Strengthened by Union). On the obverse, Hercules battles the three-headed dog, Cerberus. The capture of the Hellhound Cerberus, who guarded the gates of Hades, was the twelfth and most arduous task assigned to Hercules by Eurystheus. According to the myth, Hercules wrestled the dog, with its lion’s claws and serpents tail, into submission and dragged it out of Hades. Here, the Axis battles the forces of hell. Fascism’s enemy is a supernatural monster associated with the fires of hell. Cerberus is a hybrid of multiple animals and a monstrous freak of nature. But, fear not, the medallion guarantees, the Winged Victory of one side will triumph in the Herculean battle with the demons of Hell on the flip side. This representation of the enemy, targeted at an elite audience of party faithful, depends upon classical mythology and an aesthetic of Romanita` (Romaness). Romanita`, in fascist ideology and culture, was the celebration and emulation of the Roman Empire and the explicit connection between it and the fascist empire.45 As Rome had defeated the barbarians, so would its modern-day equivalent, fascist Italy.”
Glad to see that this thread has been resurrected. I just love these non- portable items, the variety and quality of them are always nice to see.

Joe, thank you for your reply and yes other than the sites you also found I haven't found any other info about this item. Haven't been able to find one that has been for sale lately either. And again, beautiful items everyone has to show. Love seeing all of them.

Here are a few more plaques I’ve picked up over the years
First is a plaque for a endurance test drive in Brandenburg on June 21 1936 Diameter of the plaque is 3 inches and the maker is Rob Neff, Berlin. Next is a medallion for the National Socialist Student League Lower Saxony Fencing Association. I don’t think I’ve seen too many non-portable items for the Student league so glad to see any others too. Glad to see any non -portable items in general.
Here’s an item I’ve had for a few years that I obtained from another collector. The profile of Hitler on the front, and on the reverse a depiction of a tree with branches growing from it and on the disc a rising sun & swastika. The imagery of the tree with branches & the swastika rising with sun rays would I guess be associated with the rebirth of Germany under National Socialism. This item is made of bronze and including the marble base is about 5 inches high. I had only seen one other like this and that was years ago in Manion’s.
Thanks for taking a look and always glad to see other plaques and non-portables. Always an endless variety of them and all interesting.

Very nice pieces Bill. I must admit that I don't recall seeing a Studentenbund plaque before. What size is it? Is the enamal badge the standard members badge size?

I love the DDAC & NSKK plaques & would have liked to collect them, but there are so many of them so I never bothered to do so.

Thanks for sharing them, sorry that I do not have any non portables to show.

Don
