Assorted Collection of Vintage Shooting Medals
This lot comprises a varied group of shooting medals, pendants and award badges, offered as a single collection. The pieces are cast or stamped in bronze, silver-toned and gilt metals, and several incorporate coloured enamel. Designs include marksmen holding rifles, crossed rifle motifs, bullseye targets and laurel wreaths. Among the visible inscriptions are references to Naval Air Command, Small Bore Rifle, Middlesex and a 1956 date, indicating the variety of clubs and competitions represented.
Condition and Collector Interest
The medals show the general wear and surface toning expected of pieces of this age, and the metals have taken on varying degrees of patina. Items have not been tested or restored, and no claims are made regarding their completeness or condition beyond what can be seen. Their assorted designs, enamelled details and association with specific shooting bodies may appeal to collectors of sporting memorabilia, militaria and club trophies, or to those researching the history of target shooting in the United Kingdom.
