What is the width of the Swedish ribbon? It looks wider than some of the other. If it is a ribbon for a commander class order, I can check how many danish recipients there were when I get home.

Here are two that has a connection to Finland. Neither are attributed yet, but I think it would be fairly easy to find the original owners of them. The first one probably belonged to a Swedish doctor who made some effort in/for Finland during the war. A quick search gave me a possible name that I need to look up further. The other one is a miniature chain that probably belonged to a Swedish veterinary who also made some effort for Finland during the war.

Here is his entry in the roll of the Swedish order of the Sword.

Ludwig von Falkenhausen received the commander 2nd class of the Swedish order of the Sword on August 31st 1888.

It's been a bit slow here laterly... So here are a few more pieces. Nothing spectacular though. The above miniature from the Royal Patriotic Society is not the more than common Long faithful service variant but the much more rare/unusual variant "För förtjänster om yrkenas förkofran".

Thank you for your reply. I have discussed this topic with a very knowledgeable collector and he has in his collection an officers cross (identical to mine) with solid provenance. So I am 100% comfortable that my crosses are totally original and legit. Both him and me seriously doubts that there should be different classes of the crosses. No one seem to have ever seen any other types than the two I show and the one you show (from Jani). The one with swords that is shown in Glushko's book is made in photoshop (or similar) and does not show a real cross with swords. The one you show without enamel is the enlisted men's cross. Which is also what Tiainen states in his book.

Thank you both for your replies! I have started the work with going through the lists of recipients of the Stockholm medal and compiling the lists to one single list. Right now there are 66 different lists that I will compile into one searchable list. When I find a possible ID, I will post it here!

G. Traburo was a manufacturer in Madrid, Spain.

Here are a few more. The chain of Olympic shooter Paulus Palén. Unknown volunteer from Svenska Brigaden in Finland. Unknown skiier. Unknown NCO. Probably a navy guy since alot of russian medals went to naval personnel. Unknown person with the Stockholm medal and a Romanian medal.

No one know anything about this medal? Here is the reason why I ask. I would like to ID the owner of this miniature bar. There are lists of both the Swedish North Star and the Stockholm Merit medal. So if there are several possibilities the Romanian medal is the key to ID the original owner.

Here are a few more. One French that I hope to be able to ID in the future. One Finnish from a person who fought in three wars. Libertywar, winterwar and continuation war. And the miniatures that belonged to Carlo von Dardel. The Swedish consul in Australia.

Lars, do you know for certain that the full size medal was with crown? Since private purchased miniatures don’t always correspond exactly to the full sized awarded medal. I think we all have seen examples were the miniature is of a different type or class than the awarded one. With such a rare medal as yours it could be that the jeweler only had the new type with crown…

I agree that no one else of the persons listed fits for the medalbar and that the best fit is Nyström. But in my opinion I don't think the miniaturebar belonged to Nyström simply because he didn't get the russian order. OR if the Tapperhet i Fält or the russian order is replaced. I would say that it needs further research before it can be attributed.

None of my lists show any russian orders at all to Pehr Ludvig Nyström. What source did you use to find that he received the Russian order of S:t Anna?

Nice miniature chain! And now it is attributed too... Generallöjtnant Thomas Georg Nyström Born: 1865-06-20 in Karlskrona Died: 1942-11-01 in Stockholm

Here are three miniature bars/chains from my collection. I've been able to ID the original owner of all of them. The bottom one is my favourite. That one and the middle one is for a father and son. Sorry for the terrible photo, it's close to impossible to take good photos without daylight.

It's a very nice little mini you got! To bad it isn't marked. Could you make some close ups on the little sword-mini? How old would you guess it is? I have passed on several minis in the same style since I doubt their authenticity. (If any miniature could be considered authentic that is...)

Nice minis! Have you managed to ID the two mini bars? The chain is not possible but the other two could be ID:able. Very strange ribbon on the "För Tapperhet i Fält" btw.

Nice miniatures! Here are the single ones I have. (I believe I might have a few more but cannot find them atm) The Sword order is a knight 2nd class in silver. I prefer minibars and minichains, especially when it is possible to ID the owner.

Hello! Does it exist any records of how many of these medals that were awarded and to who? If I understand it right it was only awarded between 1912 and 1948? I am looking for the name of a Swedish recipient of the gold medal and I guess that there cannot be that many Swedes that received it.
