Deutsche Sherlock Holmes Gesellschaft Issues Medal for Sherlock Holmes’ 160th Birthday

“My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work.”

– The Sign of the Four (SIGN)

Deutsche Sherlock Holmes Gesellschaft, a Sherlock Holmes society based in Germany, held the two day SherloCON 2014 in Saarbrücken this past August.

Much like they did at their 2012 event, they issued a limited edition medal to commemorate the event.  This year’s medal features a scene and quote from The Sign of The Four, in addition to celebrating the 160th birthday of Sherlock Holmes.
