Any ideas?Regards,PeteHi,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.Greetings1LTSweden Edited October 22, 2007 by 1LTSweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi Pete,Nice pin you've got there . I managed to dig out this thread for you, also showing another donation-pin. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ight=gothenburgI don't have access to my reference-books right now, but the year-mark (O8) is probably 1940, considering the events surrounding this pin.cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
