Avitas Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello there, I finally got around to getting a few of my recent additions photographed, so I have a few things up for discussion. This 1936 Olympic Medal for civilians came with it's original box and is in near mint condition. I have seen a few of these around but rarely in this shape. The box has an ink stain on it, and I can't see any maker marks on the medal. Were these maker marked and is there any way to determine manufacturer? If anyone has any additional info please do leave it and I will just post a few pics for reference. Thanks, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avitas Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Final pic, here is the box top. All in all, a pretty good example I believe. If anyone else has any minty Olympic Medals feel free to post here as well. Also, are there any variations on this medal (rarities etc.?). I would assume there would be a very limited list of makers, and probably little chance of variations as these were basically a one-off manufacture. Thanks for any help!

M Hunter Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Pat, Very nice group you have there. Shame about the ink stain. I am not sure about maker marks but I am almost certain that the majority of the original medals were made from iron and therefore magnetic. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
