Large Cased 1938 NSFK Table Award Medal

A large, copper colored table medal, approximately 3 3/4 inches across. The obverse displays the winged Icarus emblem of the National Socialist Flying Corps, the air wing of the Nazi party. The medal carries the designation of “Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps” on top, and “Deutschlandflug 1938” below (National Socialist Flying Corps / German Flight 1938). On the reverse is the raised declaration “Mit unserem Fhrer im gleichen schritt und tritt fliegen wir fr unser ewiges Deutschland”(In equal pace and stride with our Fhrer we fly for our eternal Germany). Beneath this is the serial number of 4860. The medal is contained within a black leather case with a recessed oval that holds the medal. The inside of the lid is printed with the designation of the leader (Korpsfuhrer) of the NSFK, on whose behalf the award was presented. The overall size of the case is approximately 4 by 4 1/2 inches. The interior of the case shows some age, but the exterior and the medal itself are in excellent condition.
