    Unknown service/shooting/hunting medal. Any ideas?

    Saw this while I was checking out some other items at an auction house. Seller thought it was military, but I don't think so. Still interesting since it was well marked as "silber" with a content of 935 (an odd number to me and the folks there).

    Any ideas on age? Any ideas what the hell it is? I know it might not be military, but I figure it must have been important enough to make it out of such a high grade of silver.

    There is a small marking under the image that reads "Certel Ber." The end of "ber" is cut off by the rifle, is "Berlin" a reasonable conclusion or is that part of the engraver's name?



    The reverse is the same style, just no text or details on the center disc. I'm guessing it was a piece that was never engraved.



    What would something like this even go for?

    Maybe 30,- Euro. These unnamed and unlocated shooting awards are very common, at least in Germany. Though nice it's made of silver.

    The maker is Oertel from Berlin - famous medal mint.

      Thank you! That's more than I thought actually. Without an engraving I'm guessing it's nigh impossible to give a date, yes?
