JohanH Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 28 minutes ago, Stefan said: 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 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... //Stefan Hello Stefan. No need for you to look it up. I have already ID it. I’ll post the name when I get home. The NCO bar is most likely an officers bar with the order of sword replaced by the sign of the sword. I have the list of Lingiaden medals (third) so it is just a matter of time to find the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Hi...again - not every day that you can have some hours for yourself 🙂 I have some miniature bars too. Here is one from Nils Kindberg (1892-1984) at the Swedish airforce from the early years. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Kindberg //Stefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 6 hours ago, Stefan said: Great Johan, then I put my research on hold 🙂 Regards, Stefan My miniature bar did most likely belong to Yngve Hildebrand, dentist. 1895-1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I found out this about Hildebrand... HILDEBRAND, GUSTAF Yngve. Tandläkare, Lidingö. F. 15 jan. 95 i Jonsered (G. o. B.).

(Lidingö.) (LFS = Ledamot av Fysiografiska sällskapet i Lund) Ref: Ordenskalendern 1958/59 ...so I guess it might still be open for further research? Does the silver medal have any information on the back? Cheers, Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 That's him! He received the Lion order and S:t Olav later in life, that's why they are not on this miniature bar. I went through a lot of different Rullor and he is a perfect match in 1950 (if I remember correctly, it could have been a earlier year). I still have not found any one else that fits. I would not bet my life on it but I am pretty sure it is his medals. The shooting medal is blank on the back. The libertycross is verified with the list of crosses to Swedes and he got one with red cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Aha, that's great that you got the red cross from a list. Is it from 1918 of WW2? Otherwise I would have had a couple of runner's up for you 🙂 I found this text regarding his wife Emy (since they lived on Lidingö): "Varje hemvärnsområde i landet har en egen fana, den tre tungade med hemvärnsemblemet i toppen. Som en erinran om att vår frihet endast kan bevaras, om alla i sann guds förtröstan möts för att trygga hemorten, brukar man de ponera sin f ana i hemkyrkan så också i Lidingö. Fanan överlämnades i Lidingö kyrkas vård den 26 september 1943 och har sedan dess sin plats intill predikstolen. Vår fana tillkom genom en gåva av dåvarande kårchef en i Lidingö Lottakår, Emy Hildebrand. Den överlämnades till oss av prins Gustaf Adolf vid en hembygdsfest på Bredablicksberget valborgsmässoafton 1941." And another one: "Den 9:e november 1939 var dåvarande rikslottachefen fru Maja Schmidt här ute på Lidingö. Hon klargjorde for oss en lottakårs arbetsuppgifter och hennes ord förklingade inte ohörda. Enhälligt beslöts av de 100 församlade Lidingö- kvinnorna a en lottakår skulle bildas på vår ö. Fru Emy Hildebrand blev kårens initiativrika och handlingskraftiga förste ordförande." //Stefan 1 hour ago, JohanH said: I went through a lot of different Rullor and he is a perfect match in 1950 (if I remember correctly, it could have been a earlier year). I still have not found any one else that fits. Yes, I know that feeling 🙂 //Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Here is another miniature bar. To a Swede in Finland 1918 and one medal is for the conquest of Helsinki - not Tampere as one would think! That leads us to that the man that got it most certainly served at the Swedish legation in Helsinki. But as JohanH recognize above - the lists doesn't always fit the medal bar 🤬 My list of people that were there in Helsinki 1918 is so far: Karl Sigurd Fredriksson af Ekström Nils Leon Jaenson Henrik Leonard Lagerlöf Knut Karl Folke Malmar ...but their decorations do not fit the one below. Some of the foreign orders can come from the nations that they helped out during 1918 in Helsinki or from a attache career after 1918. So, any more suggestions?

The position of the Vasa-order suggests a Swede. But the Finnish winterwar medal is of the type awarded to finnish citizens... Could the Vasa order have been a replacement for the Italian Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus? They share the same ribbon. But the winterwar medal still don't make sense if it is to a foreigner. If we assume that the first one is Italian, then all the others (except the last one) is in correct alphabetical order. Dannebrogorden before 1947 and S:t Olav orden before 1937.

Great Dane Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Don't forget that adhering to regulations was not as strict when it came to miniature bars... Sometimes what was used was what the jeweller had. Another anomaly: There should be no rosette on the Dannebrog ribbon as there was only one knight class at that time, but there are many examples of recipients 'dressing up' the one-class knight class with a rosette.

Jstrom Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Little information about his career and photos Bertil Wiklander (1909-1994) was musical director at Kungliga Svea flygflottiljs musikkår and later military musical inspector. In the opening ceremony of the equestrian events of the 1956 Olympics held in Stockholm, he led the music choirs of Västmanland, Svea and Södermanlands Kungliga flygflottiljer. In 1958, six years after Sweden got its first military musical inspector Ille Gustafsson, Wiklander took the position, where he remained for at least eleven years. The highest position attainable in militärmusiken. He reached the rank of överstelöjtnant. In 1951 he composed ''åttonde flygflottiljen'' Bertil Wiklander sitting down furthest to the left Bertil Wiklander standing fifth from the left on the first row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
