The picture below shows a larger view of all (6) Different Old Unused Blackinton Gun Competition Award Medals in this lot. We had acquired a collection of gun competition medals, and we believe that they had somehow came from the manufacturer’s inventory. Some may have been samples, some unassembled parts, and some for display. They do not appear to have been engraved or awarded to anyone. They have different combinations of top pins, medal bars, ribbons, and hanging medals. When we acquired these many were loose, some were in display boxes, and there were many empty display boxes. They were each given a box to use, but before doing so, some colored foam padding material was removed, because it was all dried up, making a mess, and sticking to some of the medals. The clear top display boxes are marked from the Blackinton manufacturer, but there is some writing on the bottoms. In the order pictured, left to right, the following medals are included here. They are marked as follows: (no pin applied at top) SMOOTH BORE 50 YARDS OFFHAND white / red / blue ribbon Medal has a flying eagle, a banner, a shield, and a rifle V.H.B. (no pin applied at top) OPEN SIGHTS 50 YARDS OFFHAND red / white / blue ribbon Medal has a circle, and a rifle BLACKINTON (no pin applied at top) RIFLE - MUSKET 50 YARDS OFFHAND red / green / white / gold / blue ribbon (no Medal) (no pin applied at top) JUNIOR 50 YARD REST white / red / blue ribbon Medal has a target, a Hunter, a rifle, a powder horn, and snow shoes BLACKINTON (no pin applied at top) FLINTLOCK 25 YARDS white ribbon Medal has a flying eagle, leaves, rays, and a flintlock pistol BLACKINTON DANVERS FRONTIERSMEN (Massachusetts) 1976 MUSKET 50 YARDS OFFHAND red / white / blue ribbon Medal has a flying eagle, a shield, and a (missing rifle) BLACKINTON All six of these award ribbon medals for one price!
