Let`s go on with Red Cross. One of the earliest decorations was a Commemorative decoration of ?hist?? organisation in three classes. On Dec., 8th 1918 the Central Organisation of Homefront, "Common Task" (?hist??"), was established to co-ordinate all the activities out in the rear to support the front. They made even the armoured cars. The decoration established in 1920 and awarded in 1921. Here is a I class decoration : a Gold Badge with White Background on the Blue Ribbon ( such exactly was the name of the decoration). Only 16 I class ex. awarded incl. to Prime Minister, later President K. P?ts, to commander-in-chief general J.Laidoner. -

Hello Peter, You have some fine medals in your collection. The first one is 3 class Cross of Defence League (Home Guard was another organization). It was awarded ca 5000 ex. in 1930-1940. As much as I know I and II classes were never awarded in pre-WW II period. Here is mine in case, marked Roman Tavast. pluribus -

Thanks. I think there were Imperial Russian influences in some of the Estonian badges of 1920s but not in modern ones. Mostly the ethnic Estonian and Nordic symbols are in use as it`s proper to the Nordic state. pluribus
