kimj Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Just posted this pic on Swedish forum and thought you might like it here too In my opinion it's one of the most attractive Swedish awards.Full name is "Civilf?rsvarsf?rbundets f?rtj?nsttecken", The Civil Defence Union's badge of Merit. As you can see it comes in three classes: gold, silver and bronze. I have just one with ladies bow. But I'm working on it... /Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Indeed! EXCEPTIONAL design these days of bland same-same. If it was not for the triple crown motif, I'd have no clue where these came from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Somewhere (and nothing to see with...) they remind me the Commemorative Medal for the Spanish Volunteers in the Battle Against Communism.Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimj Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Christophe, here is the forum:http://www.samlarforum.nu/If it's against any rules posting it here just remove it. Then send me a PM... By the way, "Utm?rkelser" is Swedish for Awards. If you need more translation help just ask. Perhaps the nice moderator on the soviet section there will help you... Rick, they are issued like this today but designed in 1941. Perhaps this is the explanation why they don't have the normal look: Front: Current king in profile; Back: Your organisation of choice./KimI'll dig for some more to show. But I'm not sure if I have much more military related of interesst.... Will get back on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
