Tom Lewis Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Grateful for any help identifying the medallions in this group. They may have belonged to the person who owned a Dutch medal bar, with some other medals he collected. See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/64849-netherlands-medals-collection-help-needed-also-strange-german-medallions/ Also in the box were this set of what looks like related (to the 1936 Olympics) medallions, and the barred items to the right. Appreciate any comments. Tom, Darwin, Australia
paul wood Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 TomThe three Olympic badges are NOK (National Olympic Committee), the other two are both Richter (Judge) badges. The other badges are various equestrian prizes, would suggest he was probably a member of the Dutch Olympic Committee and a judge in two of the equestrian events.Nice setPaul

Nice set Paul OK, now this is getting really exciting. If these did belong to the Dutch bar you have in another thread (BTW: nice bar!) It would be great to find his name on the 1936 Olympics list of equestrian judges. Is there a list of the 1936 Dutch Olympic Committee judges? Your guy should be there.

His name may have been wilfred westra van holthe. Tom
paul wood Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Tom, are any of the bronze medals named on the reverse?Paul
Tom Lewis Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Tom, are any of the bronze medals named on the reverse? Paul No, none. Maybe he took a few samples as keepsakes once the event was over.
