| France---automotive, 1900. An even earlier medal with the same design as the last. This one awarded for "Assult de Armes", to M. Boulanger. I have seen a few of these, most often in copper, but this one in Silver, a much rarer metal, and the really early ones are seldom awarded for a race, or a car, as no one had one!! Thus, one I have seen was awarded to a fellow for his "Enthusiasm", and this one seems much the same, being awarded for his service. No box, EF, and very nice.
