ORIGINAL UNITED STATES 1938 DOGS OF WAR NATIONAL MATCH TROPHY MEDAL. In an effort to increase military marksmanship and preparedness in the defense of the Nation, legislation was developed in 1903 to hold national marksmanship matches. This legislation was authorized by Congress in Army General Order #61. The teams representing all branches of the military were competing for the trophy called Dogs of War. The first matches were held at Sea Girt, NJ in 1903, followed by Ft Riley, KS, in 1904. In 1906, Camp Perry, OH, named in honor of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, became the home of the National Matches. Osburn medaled in these events multiple times. Obverse is a depiction of “The Dogs of War” with a man holding dogs on leashes. The proper left has a National Seal medal with tabs below depicting Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and National Guard. The proper right text reads National Trophy Presented by the Congress of the United States for Excellence in Team Marksmanship MDCCCCIV. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!

The top bar or brooch is a pin back with a functional rotating clasp closure. The second portion consists of an intermediate clasp of crossed arms to indicate the type of weapon that was used to earn the award rifle, pistol, or, soon thereafter, automatic weapons. In this case it has crossed rifles. The third, lower piece is a planchet, that when enameled, told the arm or the type of service, in this case, blue for Infantry. The central design is a bow and a pair of arrows. The planchet consists of three concentric designs. 0625 in diameter, displays a compound bow and two crossed arrows, a symbol of marksmanship. Outside of that is a center ring, 015 in width, which displays 13 stars. An oak-leaf wreath executed in bronze surrounds the entire design, making the planchet 1-1/2 in width. The combatant arms had bronze stars with the ring enameled in blue for Infantry.
