    A new rare one !


    Recommended Posts

     

    When you look at the backside of this simple medal it dosn´t look very exciting ...

    Finnish Medal for Courage 2nd class , Winter war 1939 , awarded 115 842 times. Well well, but when you turn it around :)

    This one is the one with Red Cross awarded to Nurses most and possible some Pte Medic , awarded 241 ! times 

    a rare one for sure

    The Red Cross is part of the satamping, so they are made from different tools then the " normal" ones

    Actually, on the 1918 medals the red cross is a separate part that is soldered on to a "normal" medal. It wasn´t until 1939 they made special dies with the red cross integrated in the medal. 

    The 1918 medals with red cross seem to be almost impossible to find for sale. I have only seen one VM2 for sale since I started collecting.
