The Gentle Manne's Service Medal is an unlockable miscellaneous item for the Soldier. It appears as a small gold medal on the Soldier's chest with a team colored ribbon. The medal is not unlockable in-game, even via random drops, and was instead given away via a hidden page on the Classless Update website. It was awarded to the first 11,111 players who visited the page.

Trivia

  • The number of visitors to which the medal was awarded was likely a nod to the combination the Soldier entered to access the Intelligence room in Meet the Spy ("1, 1, 1, uhhh...1!").
  • After the August 21, 2009 patch, the medals became individually numbered up to #11,111 in the item's description.
  • A duo of unfinished medals can be found and equipped on the Soldier in the model viewer, but are not available as an in game item.
  • The image of the Gentle Manne's Service Medal on the hidden page bears the Team Fortress logo, though in-game, the medal is blank.
  • The hidden page now bears this message: "To those who didn't, better luck next time..." This is probably a reference to the Ghastly Gibus challenge that occurred during the Halloween Special, or perhaps hinting at another similar giveaway in future.
  • The image on the hidden page can also be purchased as a poster from Valve's store, though it has been censored, with the cigar in the Soldier's hand replaced with a mug of coffee. It can also be bought as an iPhone Gelaskin, but it is uncensored.
  • The item description was written by Lamech.
  • The October 8, 2010 Patch added the ability to rename the Gentle Manne's Service Medal with the use of a Name Tag.
