I have two medals that are 14 k gold that belonged (won) to a father I never knew. One says "Distinguished" at the top of a shield with a ceramic paper target underneath and then it says "Pistol Shot". The other says the same but "Rifle Shot" I believe. The latter is stored around the house somewhere but I have the pistol one in front of me now. On the back his name is engraved, "George L. Jacobsen" 1939.
Anyone familar with this guy and/or know what it takes to be a 'Distinguished Shot' <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" /> I also have pictures taken back in the 50s of him holding 3' tall trophies he won in I think Pa. at, could it be Altoona ?? That word is written on the back of several photos.
I've been a hunter all my life and have his blood running in me but sad to say, I wasn't in his life.
