schutzenfester Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 More beautiful medals. I really enjoy seeing your collection. Thanks for sharing it with us. Thanks for the recognition Art. I enjoy the hobby so much and wish to show others the reason I have been collecting for so many years. Medals are my focus but I collect all forms of schützenfest memorabilia including: Cups, bechers, any other forms of schützenfest awards, post cards, jetons, decorations, and other miscellany.

I was going to click on the like this button (I guess that is part of the new upgrade), but it says I have reached my quota for the day. I like a lot posted here, but I didn't think I had been on today before now. Oh well, I do like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schutzenfester Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I recognize that naked baby. Is that used in many other medal designs? That baby is not used in regards to any shooting medals I am aware of except the medal above. This is just my recollection and I have not referenced Richter to say for sure. I can say that William Tell's son is used in great numbers on Swiss schützenfest medals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Unfortunately, I don't know off the top of my head what I was thinking about... Maybe I've seen that baby on the same medal but a different specimen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
