Lot 1503:
Prototype 1940 Reichsparteitag Medal. This event as well as the 1939 rally have never taken place due to the outbreak of the Second World War. The 1939 and 1940 Reichsparteitag table medals were designed and struck in anticipation of the event(s) and were put into storage in the attic of the Deschler factory in München (Munich) where they were forgotten about for decades (see photos how they were found in the 2000’s). The design is by Richard Klein and his initials RK are under the left wing of the eagle. The material is Tombak. When they were discovered several years ago, they were sold to a few select dealers inside of Germany. Very few samples were struck, and this piece is extremely rare. 3-1/4 inches in diameter, with nice patina.
