  2. The 1936 Summer Olympics officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad and commonly known as Berlin 1936, were an international multi-sport event held from 1 to 16 August 1936 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin won the bid to host the Games over Barcelona at the 29th IOC Session on 26 April 1931. The 1936 Games marked the second and most recent time the International Olympic Committee gathered to vote in a city that was bidding to host those Games. Later rule modifications forbade cities hosting the bid vote from being awarded the games. Rare Olympic torch from the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin. This was the first year the Olympic torch relay was held, with the torch traveling from Olympia, Greece through Europe, ultimately arriving at Olympic stadium in Berlin. Because of the stainless steel shortage in the upcoming war, very few of these torches still remain, as all stainless steel was required to be melted down to create weapons. Manufactured by Krupp, torch features an engraving of the cities through which it traveled, as well as the five Olympic rings, held in the talons of the German coat of arms. Facts and Figures: Start date: 20 July 1936, Olympia (Greece) End date: 1 August 1936, Olympic Stadium, Berlin (Germany) First torchbearer: Konstantinos Kondylis Last torchbearer: Fritz Schilgen Number of torchbearers: 3,075 (Berlin-Kiel and Berlin-Grünau relays excluded): 1,108 in Greece, 238 in Bulgaria, 575 in Yugoslavia, 386 in Hungary, 219 in Austria, 282 in Czechoslovakia, 267 in Germany. Recruitment of torchbearers: Each National Olympic Committee of the countries crossed was responsible for selecting the torchbearers in its respective territory. Distance: 3,075km (Berlin-Kiel and Berlin-Grünau relays excluded): 1,108km in Greece, 238km in Bulgaria, 575km in Yugoslavia, 386km in Hungary, 219km in Austria, 282km in Czechoslovakia, 267km in Germany. Countries visited: Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany. Torch Details Description: The relay route and the Olympic rings topped by a German eagle are engraved on the handle, as is the inscription: “Fackel Staffel Lauf Olympia Berlin 1936”.

  4. Hi There, When I was a young kid many many years ago, I was gifted a pin from the Egyptian Olympic Shooting Team. The pin came with an Olympic Games Egypt postcard and in it was a message from one of the Egyptian Shooting team competitors. This was the 2000 Olympic games - I was only 7 years old at the time. I've kept the pin ever since and have attached a photo for you to see. Please see below. I'm not selling this item, just more curious about the value off it as I've tried researching this pin but cannot find it anywhere in memorabilia stores or even online. I have found somewhat similar pins but nothing like this one. I am very curious about the value and rarity of this piece of memoribillia from these games and this team and would appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you! http://oi64.tinypic.com/98hv0i.jpg
