Commemorative Gau Plate ( Schoenau ) # 859
Many Regimental and Anniversary plates were manufactured during the
Third Reich, most of them were done by the firm of Meissen and can be
found here and there at shows and sometimes pop up on dealer websites.
This particular piece was manufactured by Schoenau and it is the only
example I have ever seen and it is political to boot.
Given
to members of the Alte Guard in commemoration of Gau Thuringen's 10 year
anniversary in 1935 the plate should be considered rare and has obvious
appeal to those who collect and acquire Gau pieces. Great piece and one
I like very much.
