The Gentle Manne's Service Medal is a Miscellaneous item that was obtainable for the Soldier. It is a small gold medal worn on the chest with a team colored ribbon. The medal was not unlockable in-game, but instead was given away via a hidden page on the Classless Update website.
The medal was awarded to the first 11,111 players who visited the page. However, an additional number 11,112 was awarded at a later date. After the August 21, 2009 patch, the medals became individually numbered up to #11,111 in the item's description, effectively making each individual medal completely unique.
The item's description was written by Lamech for the Hat Describing Contest.

Trivia
- The image of the Gentle Manne's Service Medal on the hidden page bears the Team Fortress logo. The medal in-game, however, is blank.
- Unlike all of the other medals, there are 38 medals given to Valve employees that do not have a medal number.
- Player Vulcnor, upon winning a charity auction for Child's Play, received Gentle Manne's Service Medal No. 11,112 along with one of every other game item. [1]
- The handing out of 11,111 medals could be a reference to the Meet the Spy trailer, where the Soldier enters the combination, 1-1-1-1 to a number locked door.
