Many thanks for the information. It's not a medal I've ever seen before.

Here`s the medal.

Actually, I was looking at the cross below the 10th Anniversary Commemorative. It's the one with the light pentagonal design. Possibly a regimental badge of some kind?

[pluribus]

This is a badge of the Sakala Single Infantry Battalion.

Col. Jakobsen was a commander of the battalion in 1921-24.

Here is the badge.

Any chance you can list the various orders Col Jakobsen wears at the neck and along the button line?

It looks like:

Italian Order of the Crown

Latvia Order of Three Stars

Swedish Order of the Sword

Belgium Order of Leopold

Unknown (Actually it looks like a German state award)

Finland Order of the White Rose

Poland Order Polonia Restituta

Romania Order of the Crown

Russia Order of St. Anne, with swords

Any corrections or the identity of the unkniwn neck badge would be appreciated.

I need some time to give you an answer.
