A rare and ornate pre-WWI German colonial honour goblet (Pokal) awarded as a shooting prize, engraved “Krieger-Verein Windhuk 1. Schiesspreis 7. Mai 1911”. The body is crafted from .800 silver (confirmed by the hallmark on the base), with beautifully applied gilded relief oak leaf garlands and classical drapery motifs. The initials on the front appear to be monogrammed, likely for the award recipient or the unit. Items like this were typically presented within veteran or military shooting associations in colonial territories such as German South-West Africa (present-day Namibia).
