Koenigsberg - OK? & translation please

I'm planning on selling this here shortly and I'd like to get an "OK" before I do.
I'm 95% sure this is a good medal. What I'd really like is a translation of the winner's name and any other significant information from the card so I can pass that along to the bidder. (wish the site auction page was up and running. been waiting patiently but now I'll just guess at a good price and sell flat out)

edit BTW: this medal seems to have a fairly good amount of gold plating on it in lower areas. Is this normal?
