Estimate value

Large silver plated trophy cup with two handles, engraved "Meinen Afrika Luftschiffer Kaptlt Bockholt Des Vaterlandes Dank" with facsimile of Wilhelm II and "R17". Kaplt. Bockholt was the commander of the Airship L59 and organized the daring flight of a configured Zeppelin to fly to German East Africa to bring badly needed supplies to the troops of von Lettow-Vorbeck who fought the occupying British troops in a Guerilla war from the 1914-18 with no supply. He raided English depots for resupply. Bockholt flew 6,757 km to Kathum, South Sudan, a record for an airship at that time. Bottom is stamped "ORIGINAL WELLNER", "AUG WELLNER SOHNE A.G." and "30".
