Hans N Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi Chris, well there is no differance in the finnish terms. A wounded is a disabled as well in their way to look at it in a post war perspective. Each wound is veiwed and calculated in percentages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans N Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 The finns didn´t take part in the WW 1 but had a Civil War in 1918, when they succesfully drove out the russians and became the independant nation we all now now. I don´t have the 1918 type but i do have some pics of one made in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 whoa, real gold? are there award numbers? can you trace a badge recipient by the number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans N Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 whoa, real gold? are there award numbers? can you trace a badge recipient by the number? Yes, it´s made of gold. Most likely a privately purchased one. As far as i know the finns don´t have any excisting number lists although theoreticly it´s possible to trace an award but it would be a wast job going thrugh the solders one by one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very small compared to the actual Liberation war wound badge (Picture attached). Jani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jani Tiainen Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 That golden badge is one of the few Finnish awards I have never had. The estimated number of awards is about 10. Jani PS. I have Jaguar E-type on my wanted list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
