Stogieman Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 This very nice little set went off on eBay in Germany this past week. Interestingly, the seller new the exact number of awards of the Finnish Cross, type 1. I was outbid, but the buyer paid dearly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Interesting that the seller felt obligated to obscure a 1918 Finnish swastika that had nothing to do with Nazism. Presumably Hindu and Native American etc sun crosses are also Officially (Mindlessly) Naughty.I have 3 medal bars:Cross of Liberty 2nd Class 1918 Military =The ICKY glued down tags are from its prior owner, the late Col.
