GRA Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Fortifikationsofficerarnes Idrotts- Och Fältridtklubb - "Fortifications officers sports and riding club", this particular spelling was common around 100 years ago, but more an indicator of when this jeton was first put into use than an age indicator as such, the design could have been use for a long time (possibly even after change of spelling - "tradition"). Is there any dating or makers marks on it? Has it been glued to something? (It looks like it has been fastened to something before, something a previous owner did, or something deliberately done before awarding it?) /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gro Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thank you, Jonas. Yes looked like something was fastened before and badly removed ... (looks like boxing glove). Found in Internet that this type of jetons (bronze as well) was existing from 189..... till 1907 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
