GRA Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hello Robert! What you have is the Swedish Red Cross commendation award - Svenska Röda Korsets förtjänsttecken (SRKSFt) - dating from 1944. It's the first step of the medals awarded by the Swedish Red Cross and is awarded "for a minimum of five years of dedicated work". /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militarymania Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 thanks so much for the info,,,may I ask what would be the value of this medal with the case?...Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have no idea of the value, but since Swedish Red Cross is by no means a small organisation, this being their "entrance award" and this particular award having been around for almost 70 years, it'll probably be quite common. Some of the Swedish volunteer organisations medals on this level (national) and lower (regional) are made of silver, the S in SRKSFt means a silver-level award. I have a couple of gold-level awards myself that is gilt 925-silver as well as silver-level in 925-silver. Are there any stamps? /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
