nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 6:33 pm I am happy to have acquired this medal recently. It is 50mm in diameter and weighs 62.5 grams. I have never seen another one like it, and my internet research only turns up images of this exact example of this medal. It commemorates the "first major international competition" of TIRO Federal Argentino (a shooting club) in May 1897.
