I recently obtained this small medal. It appears to be in German, but also seems to refer to the King of Sweden. Any ideas?

    No clue as to its origin but a bad economic year for Germany, that downward turn and all...

    I had taken a few pictures to attempt a better highlighting of the legends. The posted photos were the best. This is what they say:

    Obv. Schutzen Gilde / Cosmia Unh

    Rev. 225 Jahr.
    Jubilaum verb.
    mit fahnenweihe
    der von Sr. Maj.
    Konig v. Schweden
    gest. fahne

    14.-21. 8. 1927

    German Shooting Guild commemorative medal?

    All I can make out with my very limited German of the obverse is the "225 year jubilee" ... something about a flag, too.

    Sorry, Harasha, can't be of more help.

    Ok I'll try to explain on my bad english:

    225 Year jubilee of the flag blessing (or Christening) of his majesty king of Sweeden stamped (or sealed) with the (or his) flag.
