Contextual Information

The gold boom of the late 1890's in WA saw the creation of many rifle clubs associated with the mines and nearby towns. Many of the mines, towns and associated rifle clubs were short lived with few surviving the First World War. This trophy is an important example of the popularity of the sport in the goldfields of WA of this era.
