hiho Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Rod, at the rate that Zohar is accumulating Schutzenfest medals, how long will it take before he equals your collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schutzenfester Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 One can only guess but I think a number of years will be required.

constanius Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Is this guy(Stillhard) boasting or what! as the actress said to the bishop "thats what they all say". Great set of medals & beautiful photos but where are 'The ladies with big hats' Zohar? So many guns & if no guns crossbows, anyone would think these were really meant to be about shooting. hiho to the rescue, she is cute.....& not a gun or crossbow in sight.

hiho Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 hiho to the rescue, she is cute.....& not a gun or crossbow in sight. Departing from my usual "ladies in big hats" theme here's a fairly rare 1900 medal from Chur in a nicer than average bezel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 ooh the reverse is definitely the side that should be featured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 ooh the reverse is definitely the side that should be featured. But the man portrayed is Benedikt Fontana, a Swiss national hero who died at the Battle of Calven in 1499 during the Swabian war, the "Frisch avf vnd dran(daran)" are his words(though wounded) extolling his men on to victory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Calven It would be like putting William Tell or George Washington on the reverse, though like you I like the reverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Though I do like the reverse I bought this for the obverse and agree with Constanius that the correct side is featured. I wanted this as a companion piece to this 1899 Langenthal, also by Homberg... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
