Superb, commemorative N.S.K.K.-related plaque (ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Auszeichnungsplakette') showing two N.S.K.K.-vehicles and text: '1. Orientierungsfahrt der Motor-Standarte 78 - 1937'
This is a very attractive - and with certainty not that often- ie. most certainly scarcely encountered! - silverish-black-toned- (and - I deem - zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based!) so-called: N.S.K.K.-related commemorative-plaque (ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Auszeichnungsplakette') showing a detailed and pronounced illustration of two N.S.K.K.-vehicles (amongst which a BMW R35 motor-cyle manned with an N.S.K.K.-staff-member!) and text that simply reads: '1. Orientierungsfahrt der Motor-Standarte 78 - 1937' and that comes as stored for decades and that comes in an overall wonderful and truly nicely preserved, condition. The neat - larger-sized- and/or quite heavy-weight-piece (having an approximate diameter of 7,5 cms.) has truly pronounced detail and was never cleaned nor polished: it has maintained a neat typical, black-toned-age-patina (but also shows some minimal tarnish as can be seen on the pictures). The back of the medal is void of an engraved tex but does show a clear makers'-designation that reads: 'C. Balmberger - Nürnberg' (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece came as issued and/or stored for decades. These attractive (I deem) semi-official - N.S.K.K.-related presentation-pieces were presumably used as some sort of awards and were (presumably) handed-out during a specific N.S.K.K.-related tour (named: the '1. Orientierungsfahrt der 78. N.S.K.K.-Standarte' as was held in the year 1937). Simply a very attractive - and with certainty unusually encountered! - N.S.K.K.-table-medal ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Auszeichnungsplakette' that might merit some further investigative work!
