very nice find.

Beautiful metal group , items not often seen on this side of the Pond .
Wow, awesome grouping!
Very nice collection !!
Can you send scans of the back side of the Pilots Badge ??
Also, the badge to the right of the pilots badge looks good but isn't it rotated 45% to the right, like the pilots badge ???
For more Finnish medals & Orders please check out my collection Flickr
Thanks, polishboy
Here are somemore photos
Very Nice Kradman A similar Pilots Badge sold on E-Bay for about $ 2,000 The other one is a real beauty. Got to watch the orientation of the Swatstika - if its rotated 45 Deg it is Nazi if its straight up it's an ancient symbol of prosperity. It is also an ancient American Indian symbol. During WW2 the Oklahoma National Guard had an arm patch with gold Swatstika on red background. Because it resembled the Nazis symbol they changed it to a Thunderbird, another Indian symbol.
This was the 45th Infantry Division which fought in Europe and Korea and which I served.
Superb historical group.Sometimes when a once in a lifetime chance comes along you just have to bite the bullet price wise or else you will always regret not adding something to the collection.
