Bronze Award for the International Shooting Sport Federation World Championships held in Granada Spain on 19th July 1933

Here on offer is a very finely detailed bronze award for the International Shooting Sport Federation World Championships held in Granada Spain on 19th July 1933.

This beautifully cast bronze rectangular award/plaque depicts the relief image of a robed female allegorical figure holding a laurel wreath along with another female figure that is supporting a winged “angel” or possibly the Greek figure, Icarus?

In the left hand corner are the details:

GRANADA
1933

In the lower left corner, it also has the designer or makers initials, being A.M., which I believe is possible a French artist from that period.

Then below the figures, contained inside a laurel frame is the crest for Granada/Spain and the competition details:

IV MATCH
INTERNATIONAL
CARABINE 22 COUCHE
50ms 111 PRIX

This translates and relates to the 3rd place award for 50m Free Rifle (.22 calibre) 40 shots prone (laying down) competition.

I have found out that a British shooter named F.S. Morse, was placed 3rd in this event.

The award is in near mint condition with a aged patina to the finish.

It is a wonderful example for collectors of French medals, shooting memorabilia, or just fine bronze art medallions.

It measures about 2.4” (6cm) by 1.4” (3.5cm) and weighs 47g.

Please see my pictures for the details of the condition, which complement this description.
