Tis just came in a couple of days ago
1909 Infantry Kaiser Prize for 1909
Folk Art type layout that shows I R 135
I have not yet checked this out to see if it is the correct regiment
for the correct year
Also show another Kaiser prize that I got for 1904 and 1905
This one had some custom work done to it

I checked it on my database and yes it's a legitimate award to the 3rd Lorraine Infantry 7th Company.

A one of a kind award and a great addition to an Imperial Shooting Prize collection.

It's the only example I've ever seen. It would be interesting to know whether other examples exist. Having this level of embroidery commissioned would have been expensive. More doable if the entire company or a group of the Reservists had them made up.
