Item #G20454

$1,300
A very interesting and rare set of Merit Awards of German Sheep Farmers Association; six medals in total, two Bronze grades, two silver and two gold grades. Each measures 71mm in diameter (nearly 3 inches), of high relief and of excellent quality, die struck in non magnetic metal (probably aluminum), then bronzed, silvered and gilded. Medals are all uni-face, and period mounted on a thick cardboard (they were period framed, but due to transportation difficulties I had to remove them from old frames). In mint condition, one flap missing on one medal. Three medals are named/engraved to "Georg Mayer Sixenhoft Aalen"; medals also come with a period framed certificate issued by Reich Farmers association, dated 1943/44. A very rare and usual set of medals for farming large European sheep.
