Attractive - and most certainly rarely encountered! - brownish-red-toned- and/or: 'Meissen'-porcelain-based, so-called: 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Medaille' as issued to commemorate the death of the N.S.D.A.P. 'martyr': Albert Leo Schlageter

This is an attractive - and with certainty fairly rarely encountered! - brownish-red-toned- and/or: 'Meissen'-like porcelain-based, so-called: commemorative-plaque (ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Medaille') showing on its front a cross and dates: '26 Mai 1923 - 26 Mai 1933' and as such being a piece that was intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the death of the N.S.D.A.P. 'martyr': Albert Leo Schlageter and that comes in an overall nice (and I deem most certainly issued- ie. awarded-), condition. The neat - larger-sized piece having an approximate diameter of approximately 8,8 cms. - has very pronounced detail and was never cleaned nor polished: it has maintained a typical age-patina and is very detailed and/or pronounced (but also shows some regular tarnish as can be seen on the pictures). These neat - and I deem semi-official - presentation-pieces (which are sometimes referred to as: 'Böttger-Medaillen' after its initital designer) were used as some sort of commemorative-awards. The piece originates from a private-household in Germany where it was recently uncovered as issued and stored for decades. The plaque is void of a makers'-designation and shows on its back an illustration of Schlageter coupled with the text that reads: 'Es fiel erschossen auf Frankreichs Befehl am 26.Mai 1923 - Albert Leo Schlageter - Für Freiheit und Frieden an Ruhr und Rhein' (as can be seen on the pictures). It should be noted that this (fragile) piece is really nicely preserved and is totally void of any damage (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and with certainty unusually encountered! - 'Meissen-Porzellan'-based table-medal ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Medaille' that was issued in the year 1933 and that was intended to commemorate the death of the N.S.D.A.P. 'martyr': Albert Leo Schlageter !
