Another Finnish? donation? stickpin

[Wood]

I was about to put this in the British section when I had a close look at the marks.

I presume this one is for donating towards aircraft for use in Finland (Russo/Finnish war)

Markings consit of the makers initals "K & E C" a "G" on its side with a sort of feathery crown,

a blobby mark that appears to have 3 crowns inside (Sweeden?), a date? letter "S"

and 08, or 80 in a rectangle. Any ideas?

Regards,

Pete

Hi,

I think this can be a Swedish pin. Maybe just a supportpin for Finland. Or a pin marking that the bearer has made a donation. The text 'F?R FINLAND' is in Swedish anyway.

Again, thanks for the information.

I must admit I missed the dots over the o.

Is it silver, any idea on date?

Hi Pete,

Nice pin you've got there . I managed to dig out this thread for you, also showing another donation-pin.

I don't have access to my reference-books right now, but the year-mark (O8) is probably 1940, considering the events surrounding this pin.

cheers
