Vintage 1938 rifle shooting medal awarded for 3rd place in a marksmanship competition. The medal features an Art Deco style design with crossed rifles and a target motif, a classic symbol used in early 20th-century shooting sports awards.
The reverse is stamped “1938 – 3rd”, confirming the competition year and placement. The medal is suspended from a traditional red, white, and dark blue ribbon bar with pin back for wear.
These types of medals were commonly awarded by American rifle clubs and marksmanship associations during the pre-World War II era.
A great piece of vintage shooting sports memorabilia, ideal for collectors of rifle club history, marksmanship awards, or early 20th-century medals.
