Guys, as I wrote in post # 4
P.S. By the way guys, obverse of this badge (by design) looks like a post-war to me
+
The pin construction of badge without inscription also looks post-war to me (at least I don't recall seeing such pins on war or pre-war badges)
Just my 2 cents

Interesting that english wiki article only briefly mentions that this three-incher was used by Finnish Army.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/76_mm_divisional_gun_M1902
"...were employed by different factions: ... national armies of Poland and Finland..."
In fact 76 K/02 was the most numerous field gun in finnish artillery park during WWII!

Nice looking badge Melvin!
Same inscription on reverse as Tod's badge has, but again slightly different stamp.
For example, take a look at endings of last upper plumes or diameter of central stamen ;)

No wonder they running out of ribbons!

Congrats Spartan!
This is an odd looking set. I have never seen a number so off center and the pages and format in the orders book looks different...
Actually you like it before

Too bad the book doesn't have a picture of the reverse.
My though exactly!
I tried to compare obverses of three pieces - they are pretty close.
Some mini differences can be noticed though.
For example anchor flukes (palms).
Badge in post #1 has "arrows" right on the edge.
Badge from the book has left "arrow" outside of edge and right "arrow" right on the edge.
Anchor "arrows" of badge from post #14 don't reach the edge.

Could you be a little more specific?
No problem!
What we have here is "4th class rising sun + 4th class sacred treasure"
So we are talking about colonel (theoretical max)/ lieutenant colonel/ major (theoretical min)
This is why I think such bar (authentical one ) should have (at the very least!) Showa enthronement medal + (very possible) 14-20/14-15 + WWI medal + (possible) Taisho enthronement medal.

Case corresponds with the order.
But ribbon looks like later replacement.
Same goes for the rosette.
