I know it's in celebration of the construction of the Karawanken railroad tunnel in Austria May 1905, but that's all I can find.

    Not familiar with it.
    BUT it is a medal given after completion of a tunnel between , I believe Klagenfurt -Austria and Triest Italy??

    That Karawanks tunnel commemorated was a railway tunnel.

    And frankly, if some guy came through that rubble with that sledge hammer, I'd be bowing instead of shaking his hand.

    Maybe the steel-driving dude was named Johannes Heinrich, hein? image
