Mystery medals (at least to me)

[Justin]

I just got these Medals I think a couple of them are WWI German but im not sure, If you cant read what is says the first one says Wilhem Der Grosse Deutcsher Kaiser, KOENG von PREUSSEN on the back Zum Andenken an den hundersten Geburtstag des grossen kaisers Wilhelmi 1792-22 maerz-1897 i belive the next two are Swedish Archery awards the one on the right says
Regiment K B 2 Fussartillerie on the back it says Fur schiessleistungen grafenwohr 1912. I think the next one is some sort of skiing medal. Next one says Friedr Lud iahn dr perd gotz on the back friedr wilh kronprinz protektor XI deutsch turnfestes 18-23 juli 1908. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help. I think I will keep most of them especial the Bavarian Artillerie-Regimental Medal. Its a work of art. Are they worth all that much? these are my first Non thrid reich Medals

Unfortunately........

......... These are relatively low-valued. The Centennial would take an all yellow ribbon, with ribbon, $10-20 tops. The Shooting medals are interesting and to the right person might fetch $20-30 for the pair, maybe more. Odd item, I've sold some for what I considered stupid money on eBay, and had others I couldn't give away if I tried! The 1870 war medal is again relatively common. It's an interesting point, these fellows don't have the "sex-appeal" of some enameled pieces, so despite the age and in some cases scarcity, the demand for the pieces is low, so prices are as well. The Regimental is cool, to a Bavarian guy might fetch 20-50, depending on whose chasing it!

hmmm i might have to look at collecting some of these medals if thats all they sell for.

If the 1870 medal was the original issue, it will have "(Made) From Captured Cannons" impressed on the rim. Wearing replacements don't have that inscription.
