A German Second World War Admiral Gunther Lutjens Presentation Goblet

A goblet in presentation form, 280mm high, with the Kriegsmarine style eagle, followed by the inscription translated from German to English ‘In memory of our travels on the cruiser Karlsruhe 1935’, with the facsimile signature of the famous Bismarck officer Gunther Lutjens with rank below of Kapitan Zur See. This is a goblet obviously presented either to him by members of the crew or from him to another serving officer. It is difficult to ascertain the material the piece is made of, it has had a silver over-wash and this has been cleaned off in the areas of the etching, good condition £300-£400

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, A Collection of German Medals and Badges.
