The second example has a filled/repaired hole at 12 o&#039;clock.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>R831c Davos, Graubüden Bundesfest</b></p><p>1836</p><p>BR versilbert</p><p>42mm</p><p>Mintage: see note below</p><p>Rarity: RR</p><p>Engraver: Heinrich Bruppacher, Luzern</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1240054[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1240055[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Second medal with filled hole also silver plated:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1240056[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1240057[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Note from Richter catalog:</p><p><br /></p><p>On the occasion of the federal festival in Davos, on 13 and 14 June 1836, an honorable and free shooting took place. The awards have been spread over over 1,000 guilders (florins). In addition to rifles (Stutzer), cantonal coins (Dublon from Bern, Ducat from Zurich, Thaler from Grison, etc.), were also awarded medals.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the official &quot;list of winners&quot; from the newspaper Grisons No. 47 dated June 12, 1836, various medals were awarded in various categories:</p><p>First Prize - Gold Plated Silver Medal with Gold Chain; in addition, a large gilded medal, then 2 medals worth 10 guilders, 3 medals up to 6.40 guilders, 3 medals up to 5 guilders, 6 medals up to 3 guilders, 23 medals up to 2 guilders (in silver bronze?) and 74 medals up to 1, 40 Guilder (in bronze?). A total of 113 different medals.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is very difficult to divide the awarded medals into four numbers in this</p><p>catalog. Most likely, the last two price tiers of 2 and 1.40 guilders are silvered bronze and bronze medals. The remaining 16 medals will then be split among the silver medals, with two of the 10 guilders likely being the same as Ref. 830a.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
