Officers Target shooting association badges

Quick background history. The association was founded the 5/2 1859 following a petition signed by Prince Oscar II. The first competition with prizes was held on 21/4 1859, 37 officers participated.


These are shooting award badge from the association. I actually own two of them and on their sides it is stamped Bronze 1917 and the other Bronze 1919. In other words they are quite old but surley there are other variants than these cause the association is still active today. Anyway the front says: Gustaf V (5th) sweden's king and the back: Officers target shooting association in Stockholm.



If you want to know more I suggest their official webpage:
