Nice pictures

[GM1]

I’ve found another miniature group with the Commander of the Order of Vasa in my collection. It belongs to a civil servant/diplomat of the era 1940-1960. I’ll try to attribute it. 
 

Best regards

Hello!

 

Nice miniatures!

 

What color are the wings on the rosette on the Vasa order?

Gold - gold/silver - silver?

 

From the picture it looks like silver wings which would mean a commander 2nd class.

 Hi Johan, 

 

the wings are completely silver ones.

[JohanH]

Thanks.

 

I'll try to compile a list of Belgian recipients of the commander 2nd class to narrow down your search a little.

Thatcher would be a great help @JohanH!

There was a total of 28 Belgians that received the Commander 2nd class of the Swedish order of Vasa between 1940 and 1969. 

 

I have sent you an email so you can begin your research.

That’s great @JohanH! Hopefully we are lucky in the research.

Here is a pretty interesting miniature chain. 

 

No ID yet, but I believe it should be possible to find a match. 

 

[Graf]

Very nice miniature group.

One of the miniatures is the Bulgarian Order for Civil merit

Three Red Cross medals

Someone who had work done on the Balkans, Humanitarian Work?!

[JohanH]

Here is a recent purchase. 

 

Not ID:able but still interesting with the Order of Vasa, Royal Patriotic society and four shooting medals. 

 

 

[JohanH]

Here is one of the most common combinations of Swedish orders. 

Knight of North star and knight of Vasa. 

 

 

Here is a pretty boring and un-impressive miniature bar but the original owner was CEO of one of Sweden's largest companies. 

I also have the large medalbar with the same medals. 

 

 

[JohanH]

It's been a long time since any activity in this thread...

 

Here are a nice miniature bar that should be possible to ID. 

 

A connection between the town of Norrköping and Belgium. A consul perhaps?

 

 

 

Here is a small miniature bar from Finland with a Swedish connection. 

 

Not going to be possible to ID.

It has the Golden Medal of the Belgium Civil Decoration for 25 years of service. It should be a high ranked civil servant. 
Impressive with it gems

A seven medal mini bar with someone from Stockholm who helped Finland in some way during second World War ( last medal)

And a Six medal bar , with medals from the Swedish Homeguard and a Sword Order

Another five medals bar , no possible to id like most of theese with common medals 

This is a little more interesting , both the Order of North Star and the Finnish White Rose is made of gold .

Probably to little to id , but still nice 

Last one for today is also interesting , belonging to a member of Royal Court , some low grade servant.

 

[christerd]

Sharper Pic of the last one 

[JohanH]

I would say that the last two are definitly ID:able. The others might be possible but a lot of work. 

 

Is the Liberty cross with red cross hallmarked for silver? If so, what year is it from?

Nice groups I think the last group belonged to not so low ranked servant

[JohanH]

It seems we already discussed this particular miniaturebar back in 2021...

There were 91 Libertycrosses of 4th class with red cross awarded to Swedes during 1941-1944. So it would take a lot of work to ID but not impossible. 

 

I'll see if I can find any possible suspects...

[JohanH]

Here are two royal commemorative medals. 

 

Gustav VI Adolf 85 years birthday in 1967. Awarded  650 times. 

 

Carl XVI Gustaf 50 years birthday in 1996. Awarded 498 times. 

[Graf]

Very nice

[JohanH]

Here is a very old and unusual Swedish miniature.

Here are a few more.

 

Unknown NCO. Probably a navy guy since alot of russian medals went to naval personnel. 

 

 

Hi!

The Russian Tsar visited Stockholm in 1909 and many awards were handed out. So this could be to a NCO in the receiving regiment - one of the Stockholm regiments at the time.

The first one probably belonged to a Swedish doctor who made some effort in/for Finland during the war. 

A quick search gave me a possible name that I need to look up further. 

 

 

 

Any year on the back of the Finnish red cross medal?

Could also have been a doctor serving in 1918 and then helping out the Finns in Sweden during WW2?

I'll see what I can find...
