    I got that nice Finnish medal lot. The seller told me, that the father of his wife (she is from Finland) got those medals during WWII. I made some research and I found out that this are:

    1. The commemorative medal of winter war 1939 - 1940

    2. The commemorative medal of the continuation war 1941 - 1945

    3. Badge for the Finnish reserve officer course

    4. Badge for a customs award / medal?

    5. Finnish coat of the arms - I think nothing official - who knows more?

    Do you know if this Badge of the reserve officer course is a WWII era type? The screw is marked BARCK HELSINIKI. I know that this badge was also given after WWII to participants of that reserve officer course.

    Do you have more information about that customs award?

    How much is the approximate value of that reserve officer badge and the customs award (only for insurance reasons).

    Thank you :jumping:

    Badge #4 is the 15 Year badge for Centralhandelskammaren (Central Chambers of Commerce). I'm not certain about #3, but I suspect it's post war produced.

    cheers

    Hi Peter

    What do you think about the three badges? Pre or post WWII?

    Value?

    Thank you!

    Both crosses are as far as I know post-WW2. I'm not familiar with the institution date of the 3rd badge, but I believe it's a civilian shooting award.

    cheers
