Noor Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi guys, I received today one interesting ribbon bar from Norway! I haven't seen many of them around and post it up here as well. Because I bought it as a unidentified ribbon bar, without seeing so European style pin, I tought that its some earlier communist country bar from Asia . Thank you to the Jeff for ID on OMSA! - Participation Medal 1940-45 (the device indicates service in Norway and with Norwegian forces in exile) - Medal for the 70th Birthday of King Haakon VII, which went to members of the Norwegian forces serving on the 3rd August 1942 Regards, Timo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvart Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Nice bar! It must have been made after 1945, since the Participation medal was instituted in 1945. Perhaps the guy continued in the armed forces, and thus needed a ribbonbar for his two medals. You are right about the device. This guy fought/served in Norway April-June in 1940, but found himself in England i August 1942. I guess it will be worth around £10-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
