    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.

    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
