    Was this Combination of Medals Possible?


    Recommended Posts

    Hello,

    I was curious to know if the combination of medals on this miniature bar were possible? 

    The medals on the bar are from four different countries and consists of:

    Denmark: The Order of Dannebrog - Knight
    Sweden: The Order of the North Star- Knight
    Norway: The King Haakon VII's Medal of Liberty
    Finland:  The Pro Benignitate Humana Medal

    Thanks in advance!

    Absolutely possible.

    The Dannebrog cross is the King Frederik IX version (1947-1972). Hard to see if it's silver or silvergilt from the picture. If silver it was awarded after 1952 when the Knight class was split in two. If silvergilt and no rosette on ribbon it was awarded 1947-1952.
    (Someone should make the front of the award face forward...)

    Michael is correct. The Norwegian Cross or Medal of Liberty is often found in groups with the Finnish humania medal. Here is one example from my own collection.
