Very rare Jules Rimet World Cup trophy from 1970. FIFA-issued trophy boasts the look, dimensions and composition of designer Abel Lafleur's original double-sided 1930 model, complete with gold-plated sterling silver figure of Nike, the winged Grecian victory goddess, holding a decagonal cup overhead. Figure is attached to an octagonal base of lapis lazuli. Base sides feature engraved plaques reading, (1) ''Coupe Du Monde De Football Association / Coupe Jules Rimet'', (2) ''Winners 1930 Uruguay / 1934 Italy / 1938 Italy'', (3) ''Winners 1950 Uruguay / 1954 Germany / 1958 Brazil'', and (4) ''Winners 1962 Brazil / 1966 England / 1970 Brazil''. Trophy was presented to a couple in Germany who invested in FIFA. German crown and crescent hallmarks are present on the metal with a 925 mark. Statue measures 13.5'' in height and weighs 8 pounds 13 ounces. Figure rotates on base. Provenance is that it is from a estate in Hertfordshire. The original owners were major shareholders in one of the Premier League football clubs. Fine condition.
