    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.

    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 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.

    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)

    IMG_20221209_150849.jpg

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

    IMG_20221209_150905.jpg

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

    IMG_20221209_150921.jpg

    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 

    IMG_20221209_150944.jpg

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

    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?

    can´t see any silver marks , but it looks like silver

    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...

    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.

     

    Regards,

    Stefan

    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. 

     

    P1050969.thumb.JPG.a27eb04105fd78caa34e3ebcbef09b55.JPG

     

     

    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...
