SS shooting medal

[Dennis S]

I was advised to move this to this forum for more impact. I found this in a
flea market years ago. Anyone have any info on this other than it being a shooting medal for a small caliber .22. I assume it is early SS. Any Idea about the missing ribbon. Thanks

Reverse with inscription

Very interesting Dennis. What is the diameter/size? Is there a mfg. mark along the rim of the medal? Does the lettering look like it was stamped after the casting/minting of the medal? Just curious is it was a generic award created for the shooting program so that any unit could stamp in their numbers or was it specially created for that SS Reserve Sturm.

Joe, I am at work now and I don't rememeber if the rim was marked. I reallly don't know about the stamping , but very crisp and even and appears as part of the medal

For my view it is a nice original medal. Difficult to say what ribbon was on it as it was like a local given medal and nothing official. A typical German award, Kleinkaliber is still very popular in Germans shooting clubs and you still get awards for it like at local county fairs etc. these days.

Thank You Joe and Robert
