In 1877, being a "Champion Marksman" meant being recognized as an exceptional marksman, likely after winning a shooting competition or demonstrating outstanding accuracy with a firearm. The term "marksman" refers to a skilled shooter, and the "champion" title indicated a prestigious honor, often accompanied by a medal like the one in the image. This reflected a valued skill at the time, particularly in military or sporting contexts.Thus badge is presented to the National Rifle Association by Colonnel Georges W. WINGATE, General inspector of Rifle Practice, for the purpose of stimulating practice with military rifles...Vintage engraving circa late 19th century. Digital restoration by Pictore.
