jeffskea Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Hello, I just picked up this nice pair of Finnish medals I thought I'd share: Order of Liberty Medal 1st Class - 1939 - appears to be the silvered bronze variety. Winter War Medal with Swords and Rannikkopuolustus Clasp A nice attractive and simple looking pair to a Finnish soldier who saw service at the front and was recognized. Does anyone have any estimates at how many 1939 1st Class Medals were awarded? Thanks. Jeff Edited February 15, 2013 by jeffskea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
