French Horse Show Medal 1913 Vintage Competition Trophy Maine Loire 2404249

French Horse Show Medal

This authentic French horse show medal from 1913 represents an important piece of equestrian heritage from the Maine et Loire region. Awarded by the Societe Hippique de Maine et Loire for their annual competition, this bronze medal commemorated achievements in obstacle courses and recognized excellence in equestrian sport during the early 20th century.

The oval bronze medal displays raised text reading "Concours 1913 Courses d'Obstacles Prix des Dames Gentlemen 3e Prix." The embossed lettering demonstrates period craftsmanship typical of French sporting awards from this era. The surface exhibits natural patina and oxidation consistent with genuine vintage bronze, showing characteristic wear that confirms its authentic age and historical provenance.

Measuring 23cm x 13.5cm (9.1" x 5.3"), this substantial medal remains in well-preserved condition considering its 110-year age. The bronze construction shows typical surface wear and patination expected from an early 20th century sporting award. A hanging ring at the top indicates it was designed for display purposes.

This equestrian award would appeal to collectors of French sporting memorabilia, horse enthusiasts, or those interested in early 20th century agricultural competition history. The medal serves as documentation of French equestrian traditions and regional sporting culture.
