Very nice set you have there , these are very hard to find in Finland
great little group. what is the award?
I believe it is the National Guard Merit cross 2nd.class in silver.
I forgot to say, notice the recipient and who signed it.

Here's what it says, I'm not too good reading this type of writing but I'll try:
''Suomen Tasavallan Presidentin vahvistama suojeluskuntain Ansioristi
Annetaan SS-Gruppenführer un Generalleutnant der Waffen-SS''
Suojeluskuntain hyväksi suoritetun toiminnan vuoksi.
Yliesikunnassa kesäkuun 6 päivä 1943.''
Which translates to:
''A Cross of merit of the civil guard certified by the President of Finland
Given to SS-Gruppenführer und Generalleutnant of Waffen-SS
Due to actions in favor of the civil guard.
In The supreme staff 6th of June 1943.''
