Thanks Rod, nice contribution medals (1 + 3) not sure what the middle medal is for, but I was thinking more of medals issued to the military units for time served protecting the borders like these:

These medals are classics! Has anyone here ever run into any of the Swiss medals issued to members of the Swiss military for their service on their borders during the wars of 1870-71, 1914-18, 1939-45?

here is another one I believit is a german shooting Tahler some one said from Saxony would you happen to have any info on this one as well . Thank you all for your time and info

 

And I would love to buy or trade for any Shooting Thalers

This one is an actual prize mdal for the best shooting score. These types of medals were issued by most of the larger German States and usually went to the military shooters. Most "shooting thalers " are actually comemorative medals especially if issued after 1871. Before then there were many actual coin issues comemorating shooting events. That is just Germany. Then there are some really gorgeous medals from Austria, Italy and France besides the Swiss.
