DAWC - Bamberg, Germany
Has the inscription: "2 Intervalionale Wandertage DAWC - Bamberg 1982"
This is believed to be the Deutsche Association of Walking Clubs event of 2 walking days in 1982.
It is not confirmed this is a John Wayne related plate.
The plate appears to have John Wayne on the white horse and Ken Curtis on the brown horse. I have no idea why this plate was part of that event. |
