AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This vintage pin depicts the famous European Cup Winners' Cup trophy, commonly known as the Champions League trophy. It is a commemorative pin dedicated to Olympique de Marseille's victory in 1993, a date engraved on the item. The overall shape faithfully reproduces that of the cup with its large handles, featuring relief details and black enameled areas contrasting with a shiny gold finish across the entire visible surface.

In the central part, a stylized football scene in relief is visible, evoking a player or a significant action, typical of commemorative pins from that period. The inscriptions engraved on the handles and the base of the trophy are legible: "LA VILLE A REMPORTÉ LA COUPE D'EUROPE DES CLUBS CHAMPIONS" (THE CITY WON THE EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS' CUP) as well as "1993" and "MARSEILLE O". The cross on the base is reminiscent of the symbol of the city of Marseille.

The entire pin has a retro appearance, characteristic of 1990s productions, with a predominance of gilding and a sober yet evocative graphic style. The visible side does not show any clasp or attachment, as these elements are located on the back, not visible in the photo.

The surface of the pin shows some minor signs of wear and micro-scratches, typical of a used item from this era, without affecting the readability of the motifs or inscriptions. The overall appearance remains attractive for a commemorative item of this generation.

This pin is primarily intended for enthusiasts of sports memorabilia related to the history of French football and OM, embodying an emblematic moment for the Marseille club.
