WOW !! I like that 1892 Zurich Free City Shoot.

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

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

All beautiful in design, execution and condition.

What a group!

Thanks guys. My reply notifier was turned off.

Got a couple of more, scarce, not as nice:

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



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

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   



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



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.



Also got these lower mintage pieces:

1903 Appenzell Ausserrrhoden- Cantonal Shooting Festival at Herisau   
Richter-70a, Martin-44, Krause-25   
Design: Rietmann         
45mm Silver



1900 Aargau Cantonal Shooting Festival at Zofingen
Richter-27a, Martin-23, Krause-12   
Design: Franz Homberg      
38mm Silver
Mintage: 330



1899 Lucerne Cantonal Shooting Festival at Kriens
Richter-878a, Martin-475, Krause-155   
Design: Huguenin, Le Locle   
38mm Silver



1903 Aargau 100 Year Shooting Festival Anniversary at Baden
Richter-29a, Martin-25, Krause-14
Design: Franz Homberg      
37mm Silver
Mintage: 350
