    German-American Bund Era Athletic Medal and Buttons

    The gold plated medal is 34mm in diameter and on a purple and white ribbon. Obverse has a discus thrower above an applied enameled shield. Legend above “GERMAN AMERICAN ATHLETIC UNION” Flanking the discus thrower is “MENS SANA // IN CORPORE SANO”. Engraved below is “FAUSTBALL” (Fist Ball) 1940. Reverse is engraved “KL. A. N.Y. MEISTERSCH.” (Class A New York Masters). Bottom is signed “JOHNSON N.Y. NATIONAL”

    Next are two gold plated lapel buttons, one is shield shaped and the second is the same shield mounted on a wreath, 17.5 mm in diameter. Both shields have a bar bell weight above “MILWAUKEE” behind a small eagle top shield with the letters “DAC” (German Athletic Club). The eagle on top of this shield is very “Nazi” like in style but without a swastika.
