Dear Constanius,

Thank you for your detail reply. Bought this medal just around silver-cost price & seem to be a good deal.

Would appreciate for any information of this medal & where is it from?

Lucky enough to have a complete set of 7 Royal Family Children Medals in silver from a British vendor.

Just got the medal. Its in much better quality than I expect and than photo. see http://omnicoin.com/coin/1017994.

British Royal Mint do a good job.

The original medal in this thread sold at auction for $50. The estimate was $80.00.

Thanks Art1.2 for your information. This is a nice medal & mostlikely I might able to get one same very soon.

That's a nice medal. The trial piece at the auction was beautiful as well. I'm quite surprised at the estimated price and even more so at the final price.

Would appreciate if you could let me know the final price of this Medal.

Indeed it is a schützenfest medal. You do not state the size (diameter) but if it is 54mm then it is R1727d or M1017. I identify it as R1727d because it appears as though it is white metal. It is quite a shame it is in poor condition or at least the pictures depict it as such, because it is a rare medal in WM. Richter classifies it as RRR.

Note: There was a gilded medal gifted in a decorative bag to archers of the Child's shoot in 1867.

Rod, Yes, the diameter is 54MM. Thank you for your detail information.

An old medal from Zurich. Metal unknown. Possible a shooting medal.

You posted 3 nice medals and here is a little information if you do not already know:

2 & 3. Fribourg 1881, Federal Shoot (First picture of this medal is only a thumbnail so it is difficult to see.)

R404a / M223

Silver

47mm

Engraver: Edouard Durussel, Bern

Rarity: RRR

Rod, Thanks for your response & appreciate your comment !!!

Your medal is, from all I can tell through the pictures, indeed R700b. This medal has the rarity of RR much the same as R680b, although Richter states differently based on incorrect mintage figures. And R682b being RRR not RR as Richter states.

Its nice to have your respones with detail information. Attached below another three 1881 shooting medals. They looks similar one to each other. Any comments will appreciate.

This could be a Richter 700B that I got earleir this year, very similar to Richter 682b except in year 1897 instead of 1894.
