Here's an impressive miniature chain with 5 Commanders and one Officer. I don't know if this piece is traceable, but all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kim beat me to it, but I think it's fair to assume one ski was used here in the North centuries ago. -

Swedish ski.badge, I assume it's civilian. -
I received a monster size ribbon button a few days ago and scanned it next to my other sizes for comparison. The first three are Order of the Sword (Sweden), Order of S:t Olov (Norway) and Order of the Dannebrog (Denmark). I can't figure out the last two though. The 4rt ribbon has the colours of the Sudetenland Medaille and that seems far fetched. At first I thought the last ribbon could be the Order of the Icelandic Falcon, but it lacks the narrow red stripes on the edges. Any thoughts?

Bulgaria Some help with Bulgarian decorations
Peter J posted a topic in Central & Eastern European States
Gents, my best buddy past away a while back (RIP my dear friend). We shared the same interest for Orders and decorations and he was a bit of a mentor for me. I was asked by his family to handle some of his collection and could use some help. I've tried to do my homework and have visited numerous web-pages for info. I think I've figured out the most i.e. classes, crown or not, war decoration and white enamel, but given the many founding dates I'm not sure how to tell them apart. I've enclosed some images and would appreciate any hints of what to look for regarding period of issue. 1. Order of Military Bravery 4th classn 2nd grade (possibly Balkan War?) 2. Order of Military Merit 5th class with crown, piece-time 3. Order of Military Merit 5th class w/o crown, war decoration 4. Order of Military Merit 4th class piece.time 5. Order of Military Merit 4th class, war decoration -
Elmer, you're of course absolutely correct. I'll try not to be as sloppy next time

Sweden Sweden - Finland 1918
Peter J replied to christerd's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Nice catch Christer. I used to have the miniature, but did a no-brainer and sold it Finding a replacement ribbon is almost impossible, given the fragile texture of the ribbon, but I wish you all the luck. -

Thanks Iver. I'm not familiar with that publication, but do appreciate the information. -
Austria-Hungary Sweet little miniature
Peter J replied to Peter J's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire
Elmer, I can't beat that, beatutiful miniature I haven't tested the material, but given the nuance of the fleece, I assume it's gold. The enclosed image illustrates a Vasa in gold and a smaller version in gilded silver. The silver version has a much darker appearance. The width of the fleece is 8,91mm, the center section 11,06mm, the pendang 8,64mm and the overall length 31,63 including the suspension ball. -

Finland Finnish liberty Cross 1918
Peter J replied to christerd's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Kevin, now that's a peroid ribbon if I'm not mistaken. I believe the rosette was added by regulation a few years after the war in 1918,
