Description: From my airship collection I offer this quite lovely bronze medal from the 1924 American flight of the LZ 126. Listed by Kaiser as his #450.3. This is a variant of my similar medal up now, but this one has a crew of 25 men listed on it. See the 3rd scan. About perfect a large 60mm bronze struck by M. & W., the obverse has Count Zeppelin's bust right with his birth and death dates. The reverse has a half-length figure of Mercury flying left holding aloft the rear half of a zeppelin in his outstretched hand with ocean waves below. The legend refers to Dr. Eckener who commanded the airship and the crewmen who flew it. This one has a crew of 25 men as stated on it. I have the other variant with a crew of 26 men listed now. A beautiful medal commemorating a historic flight which may have started an improvement in German American relations. It honors also Graf Zeppelin whose wartime death went mostly unnoticed. See the scans. U.S. shipping is $4. It will cost me more. PayPal preferred. I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO OFFERS ON ANY OF MY LISTINGS. JUST ASK. WORST THING IS I SAY NO. I COMBINE SHIPPING USUALY ADDING NOTHING AND WHEN I DO ONLY ENOUGH TO COVER ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OR POSTAGE. IF YOU PAY FOR MORE THAN ONE ITEM, I WILL REFUND THE EXCESS.
