Your Bern 1910 medal is from the 1910 Federal schützenfest. Engraved by Holy Freres, St. Imier
28mm
In silver there were 6500 minted
Gold: 400 minted
There was guilded silver, silver brooch and bronze examples too.
In the old shootig medal bible it is identified by the number Martin #174 (M174) and in the new Shooting Medal Bible by Jurg Richter it is Richter 263.
It is a relatively common medal.

I have been collecting schützenfest medals since 1979 and my father since 1961. We work together in regards to growing the collection but my Father's personal collection is substantially larger than mine. Over the years our collection has grown to the point where 15 years ago we began to sell duplicates to fellow collectors.
If you have any questions or comments I would be glad to hear from you and I will also do my best to answer any of your questions.
Swiss Schützenfest medal collecting is a rather obscure division of numismatics but I feel that the medals are some of the most artistic of all medals and coins in the world.

You guys have got to be kidding me. Now I have something else to consider collecting. They are amazing. How do I learn more about these?
