Buy these medals for $8 each ($10 for the pewter railroad plate) plus approximately actual postage. To purchase send me e-mail. PayPal accepted. It is my habit to spend a few days each week at my cabin, which is a computer-free zone, but I will answer you immediately when I'm back home.
During my trips to Switzerland in 2004 through 2007 I found few medals. In 2008 I did find some, both shooting and athletic medals. At this time I have 14 Volksmarsch / Memorial Walk / Ski Lauf medals, and 5 shooting medals, which are waiting to be scanned. If you have a particular intrest let me know and I'll check through these also.
It's too much work to list these little things individually on ebay, but you can check my feedback on ebay to see if I can be trusted. My ebay userid is MarushoLilac. And I'm in the phone book in Arlington, Virginia.
You will find a few other types of medals in here - Volksmarsch, hiking, sporting day, memorial hikes. It's up to you to translate the inscriptions and decide what you are looking at. If you can't read something just ask.
The medals and coasters were scanned at 75dpi, so they should appear about 104% actual size on your monitor.
It is my intention to update this site after every sale. It was last updated May 26, 2009. Thanks for looking.
