Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 7:23 pm I haven't been able to identify this medal and am hoping someone can assist. It's 40 mm, and 17 grams. I think it's a German sporting medal of some sort. Maybe a race or something. Report this Post to the Staff

Are there any marks on the edge?
