Original German WWII Cased District No.33 Göttingen 1937 Honor Prize Table Medal by Josef Feix & Söhne

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice German WWII Era Cased Presentation "Table Medal", a relatively award usually displayed on a shelf or table, as the name implies. The medal itself measures about 2 3/8” in diameter, and is 3mm thick, made of gilt die struck bronze alloy. It comes in a very nice satin and velvet lined case measuring about 3 3/8" square, with a functional hinge and lock. The top of the box is marked in gold as follows:

Ehrenpreis
des Gaus Nr. 33
Göttingen

This directly translates to "Honorary Award of District No. 33, Göttingen", though we have not been able to find out exactly for what reason these were distributed, as they appear to have been available in gold and silver grades.

The award itself shows an NSAP Reichsadler Eagle at the top perched on a swas, and below this is the coat of arms of Göttingen, which shows three towers above a Lion. On either side of the coat of arms is the date 8. 2. 37., and around the bottom of the medal is 15. JAHRE NSDAP IN GÖTTINGEN (15. YEARS OF THE NSDAP IN GÖTTINGEN).

The reverse of the medal is plain, and marked with with JFS in a Rectangle, the logo of Josef Feix & Söhne of Gablonz. This city was part of the so-called "Sudetenland" during WWII. Today it is known as Jablonec nad Nisou in the Czech Rebublic. Below this is D.R.G.M. (Deutsches Reiches Gebrauchs Musterschutz) - meaning it is a protected patented design under the Reich Government. The very bottom is marked with (RZM) M/183, which is an early pre-war code for JFS, which does not correspond to any of the later classifications.

A very nice example, ready to add to your collection and display!
