    Thank you Gents for the nice comments, appreciated as usual!
    This area is a bit of a twilight zone in the collectors world, not much is written about it and lots of the medals, pins and awards didnt changed after the war in apearance.
    So always look for the ones that are dated, or with the "ges. Gesch."markings on the back.
    The uniforms are still pretty much the same,but the periods ones have the typical bakelite buttons with the crossed rifles, or the OLC marked metal ones.
    The hardly come up for sale in Germany.

    Here is an award from the Rifle association with the original document (Auszeichnung) its the small award belonging to the Wehrmansgewehr (a private version of the German army rifle)
    Target range of these rifles was 300mtr range.
    After Versaille when it was forbidden for rifles using the mil. 8x57mm cartridge, they switches to this 8.15x46mm cartridge which was aloud.
    The was a limitation to 1 cartridge only, so the usual 5 cartridge loading bay of the rifle was filled with wood so only 1 could be loaded into the chamber and no fast firing was permitted.
    Here the award with document and an picture of an original ad of 1912

    Regards

    Your welcome Fred,

    the commercial caliber 8.15x 46 mm was not a very popular caliber in the pre WW1 days, its was an expensive cartridge and the ballistic of it couldn't match the 8x57mm of the standard mauser military rifle, so for real target marksmanship beyond the standard 300 mtr range it wasnt that usefull
    After the war with the Versaille regulations it was THE caliber to use, and handling was exactly like the army rifles so it was in a way the way to train people for the times ahead..
