Medals, at least national ones are usually chock full of heralds and other meaningful parts. This one has an 8 pointed Maltese cross, the symbol of the Order of St. John mainly but like Kptlt. Neuerburg said many countries use that symbol. The crossed rifles and wreath are generic symbols. The center disk is also very plain. The inscription "I. FI. 1934" doesn't bring up any hits either. I am quite intrigued! Thanks for posting.
