Yeah, that one caught my eye, too.  The artistry is fantastic!  The 1895, too (I just love silver I guess).  Cool stuff, Zohar. :ThumbsUp;

P.S. - Is the 1914 silver, or "silvered"?

All beautiful in design, execution and condition.

I don't find that mark on the 1902 distracting.  If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd probably have missed it altogether.  I really like the "pine" branch reverse on the 1906. I have a jeton with a pine laurel and that's what I find myself focusing on constantly, not sure why.

Was able to find a better example for the Zug and a few lower mintage examples:

1906 Appenzell Ausserrrhoden, Cantonal Shooting Festival at Teufen   
Richter-71a, Martin-45, Krause-26   
Design: Stauffacher/Homberg      
45mm Silver   

(http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/O-horz-2.jpg)

1902 Zug Cantonal Shooting Festival (Scratch is unfortunate yet given low mintage, I had to take it).
Richter-1678a, Martin-996, Krause-343   
Design: Homberg   
45mm Silver   
Mintage: 300

(http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/231-1-horz-1.jpg)

I just lucked out and found another Zug medal in better shape so I guess I own 2/300 :). I may have to sell the first one even though it may be tempting to keep both.
