M Hunter Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Gentlemen, I came across this medal. Can someone tell me what it is and what it was awarded for? I recognise Gustav 5th of Sweden but that is all. Many thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hello Matt! I think it is Medaljen för Förtjänster om Sveriges Landstorm i silver: http://www.all-medals.com/ribbon_info.asp?build=&showgroups=A-Z/0/se&visitor={F8C7BFF7-6D26-4689-951F-FB958F34BE9D}&listmode=0&login=&medal={703B8DAE-DE6B-41C3-B01E-A54C5E7D0021} It was awarded for services to the Swedish Territorial Volunteers, as there were (and still exists) a medal instituted in 1922 from the same organisation, this may have been a short-lived medal (1912-1922), but I'm not sure. There should be silver stamps on it, find those and the year it was awarded can be narrowed down. /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
