The bowl has a straight rim, and features the traditional eagles eagles in combat on a plaque separately applied to the side, with an early Luftwaffe sun-wheel swastika directly beneath, also separately applied. The stem and base are gently downward sloping, with a rim above the base, and with a filler plate attached to the underside of the base, with two breather holes visible.

Although, the traditional Luftwaffe Honour Goblet that was awarded for “Special Achievements in the Air War” was not adopted until February 27th, 1940, the Luftwaffe had existed and participated in air battles before this point, raising the definite possibility that this was an early prototype for the much sought after “Ehrenpokal der Luftwaffe”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123941069077,"sku":"G35602","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/m18-2916.jpg?v=1692876400"},{"product_id":"germany-a-luftwaffe-honor-goblet-to-fighter-ace-otto-decker-with-40-air-victories-kia-g22170rl1","title":"Germany.
