<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 182103, member: 1242&quot;]Fastfun1111,</p><p><br /></p><p>More than likely, the Medal was manufactured by the same Company or individual (Emil Zothe) as the Ribbon! The Medal is probably German Silver which primarily contains Copper, Nickel and Zinc but could contain a few other components as well. However, German Silver does not contain any elemental Silver as a component! The Medal has the appearance of many older German Silver pieces that I have seen but without testing (which you would not want to have done), there is no way to really tell unless you can find an expert on German Silver or find information on Medals produced by Emil Zothe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although the workmanship on your Medal is superb, there is apparently not a lot interest or value in most of these Medals! However, I believe that yours is unique and may fetch at least a much higher price than smaller and less detailed Turnfest Medals. There is one Turnfest Medal and a couple of Postcards currently up for auction on eBay and there have been a few on eBay in the recent past. I have copied and pasted below the link to one of the complete auctions for a Turnfest Medal.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1904-LaCrosse-Wisconsin-Turnfest-metal_W0QQitemZ270074978534QQihZ017QQcategoryZ403QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1904-LaCrosse-Wisconsin-Turnfest-metal_W0QQitemZ270074978534QQihZ017QQcategoryZ403QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1904-LaCrosse-Wisconsin-Turnfest-metal_W0QQitemZ270074978534QQihZ017QQcategoryZ403QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
