New Finnish medals

[kemi]

Here are my new finnish medals

1 Finnish issue Winter War Medal for volunteers, in Bronze. This is the scarce type as issued to foreign aid workers who helped Finland in its struggle against Russia, with less than 10,000 awarded, these are very rare to find. Often given to people who helped, such as nurses, medics


2 The Commemoration Cross. (Frivilligkorset - Svenska Finlandsfrivilligas minnesförening)


3 Freedom cross 4th class sorrow cross 1939. These crosses were given to fallen soldiers next of kin, usually wife or mother.

Nice medals

[kemi]

do you have any information about what they are worth!?

[Verikauha]

1. Volunteers winterwar medal, bronze or iron (black finish) is usually minimum 100€, top 125€
2. Dont know.
3. Mothers Cross, price ranges from 40 to 80€, year and condition depends a lot.

Asking prices from another collector, is value what you might not get when you sell it.
The collectors price them in mind How much they actually value the historical item.
Prices what you ask might be ridiculous if they add memorial value, or have memories of said item when selling it.

Not exactly. About 10.000 were awarded black iron medals for foreign volunteer combatants. This bronze one, for foreigners supporting Finland during the war, was awarded only 1961 times (quantities based on the book by Jani Tiainen). So, the bronze one is scarcer (and expensiver) as the iron one.

PS. I have shown both types in this thread: Finnish issue Winter War Medal for volunteers
