Ducks Unlimited Pintail Bronze Medallion

This is a circular, cast bronze commemorative medallion featuring a bas-relief design. The piece appears to be approximately 3 inches (76mm) in diameter, consistent with Ducks Unlimited donor or membership incentives from the mid-to-late 20th century. The obverse displays three Pintail ducks in flight over a marshland scene with cattail reeds. The organization name 'DUCKS UNLIMITED' is embossed along the top curve, and the species name 'PINTAIL' is inscribed near the central bird's tail. There is a stylized signature at the bottom, likely that of the artist responsible for the relief. The medallion is finished in a uniform antiqued bronze patina, which highlights the fine details of the feathers and environmental elements. The construction suggests a heavy metal casting, likely zinc or bronze alloy with a protective coating. In terms of condition, there is minor superficial wear and slight darkening of the patina consistent with age and handling. There are no visible signs of metal fatigue, deep gouges, or corrosion. The craftsmanship shows high-quality die-striking or casting techniques, typical of high-end wildlife conservation collectibles. The mention of 'Firenze' in the context likely refers to the manufacturing origin or a specific Italian foundry known for fine art casting.
