Günther Quandt medal
Here is a plaque that was awarded to members of the Quandt group after 25 years of service. Other versions exist in silver and gold for 40 and 50 years. These date from the early 1950s, and an example is pictured in Quandt's own memorial brochure published after his death in 1955.
You don't see these too often. |

That's the one
Richie: Interesting, Speer must have known him quite well also The 25-year anniversary ones are most often encountered. I guess that in order to make 40 or 50 years you had to be pretty agile and in possession of a prize quality bomb shelter in those days. |

Hi Richie,
Personally, I wouldn't want to pay more than $25 - $35 for one The 40-50 years versions are less cheap, they went for about $50 - $60. I have an unboxed 'spare' one available, if you really need one |

Finally after quite a bit of searching I found the silver 40th anniversary version. It is the same medal/plaque but executed in 925 grade silver.
