Issued to commemorate the main marksmanship competition (Hauptschießen) in the Gau Baden region , this medal reflects the strong cultural emphasis on precision shooting and physical discipline in 1930s Germany. Held in Pforzheim , a city known for its craftsmanship, the 1935 event was both a sporting competition and a politically charged gathering aligned with the ideology of the time.
