Sometimes all that looking pays off.
Both are marked C&J
Both are to the same competition but one year apart.
Awarded for a shooting competition,
1st Schiesklasse and 2nd Schiessklasse means 1st and 2nd in a specific catorgary of shooting competition, it may have been with a rifle, pistol or even machine gun.
They were awarded within the 6th Company(Gebirgsj�ger Battalion) of the 9th Infantry Regiment.
I bought them 3 years apart both at the SOS shows.

I was lucky enough to see Gary's catch at this year's show, and, it is even more gorgeous in hand than any pictures that you will see.
Thank you, Gary. And congratulations on a unique find and a great addition to your wonderful collection.
