Original 1936 Berlin Olympic Games Medal for Meritorious Service (Olympia-Erinnerungsmedaille 1936), awarded for valuable service during the Olympic Games.
This example is presented in its original period case featuring embossed Olympic rings to the lid. The medal retains its original parade-style ribbon mount, as worn for formal presentation.
The obverse displays the national eagle beneath the Olympic rings with the date “1936.” The reverse reads:
“Für verdienstvolle Mitarbeit bei den Olympischen Spielen 1936.”
The medal shows honest age toning consistent with period manufacture. Details remain sharp and well defined. The case shows expected age wear but remains structurally solid.
A desirable and iconic Third Reich-era Olympic award, especially in cased and parade-mounted format.
Condition:
Very good overall condition with natural patina and light case wear.
