Thankyou everyone for your input, i appreciate it.
here's some photos of the medal taken in natural light for any future reference.

I am not surprised it's a repro, as i said, not my collecting field so thought it best to ask!!

Hi all,

this medal was produced in three versions:
- in blackened iron, for foreign volunteer soldiers (ca. 10,000 awarded)
- in bronze, for foreigners helping Finland during the war (1961 awarded)
- in silver (hallmarked), for special efforts made for help Finland. Awarded oly 42 pieces, and in fact not available in the collector's market

The iron version (is magnetic) was also awarded with swords and clasps, like the "common" Winter War medal.

greetings
Tomasz

PS. Issued pieces according to "Suomen Kunniamerkit" by Jani Tiainen
