A 1980’s German Sports medallion with Honour 1936 Berlin Olympics Bronze

A bit complicated this one, the very large bronze medallion is an almost direct copy of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, just lacking the swastika to the front, it is of a large size measuring 2.75 inches in diameter, this is attached to its original ribbon still in the 1936 style and in turn this is fed through another bronze plaque which translated reads ‘8th international fun run, hiking and cycling’ and is dated 1983. It appears that during the 1980’s major sports events copied the 1936 Olympic medal, added the upper plaque and gave them as awards. This example comes in good condition, the ribbon showing signs of age and use.
