On offer is a 1974 KLM bronze memorial medal issued to commemorate 50 years of flights between the Netherlands and the Far East. The medal celebrates the historic 1924 KLM journey undertaken by a Fokker aircraft piloted by Captain Van der Hoop, a pioneering achievement in the development of long distance commercial aviation. KLM, founded in 1919, is one of the world’s oldest airlines still operating under its original name and played a significant role in early intercontinental air travel.

Struck in bronze with detailed relief decoration, the medal is presented in its original KLM presentation box and is accompanied by the original explanatory leaflet. Measuring approximately 60 mm in diameter, both the medal and box remain in good condition, making this an attractive piece for collectors of aviation memorabilia and commemorative medals.

A fascinating KLM aviation commemorative marking an important milestone in the history of international flight.
