Peter J Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi Michael,I have no further information, but I assume it was given to distinguished individuals within the organisation. Perhaps you can find out more if you do a Google search.cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) According to my newly received book by Ernst Areen about Scandinavian medals, this medal was awarded to participants (and associated staff) in the World Postal Congress in Stockholm in 1924.A larger medal in gold in a different design was awarded to the president and vice president of the congress, while a smaller gold medal was awarded to the first secretary of the congress./Mike Edited December 12, 2007 by Great Dane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
