John,
I have emailed you some of the history on the competition, which the German
side of my family could never win. The prizes speak for themselves, and if you bought one of the Emilio Somazzi, of Lugano cases signed by L. Vassigli, you can name your price here in the UK, they are really collectable, but obvioulsy less fashionable these days.
On the reverse will be a rifleman holding the rifle. Well done getting it for your father in law a great 80th present.
Meant to add.........I was always told they only made 100 watches every four years which is why they are so valuable, and my Great Great Grandfather on the German side who shot for the Army took part in the Federal Shooting Exhibition (competition) 1913!!.
60,000 from all over the world took part in 2000 to give you some idea.
