I HOPE you meant the left one! The right one has something to do with Tanks! Notice the club? The right one says "GOEDENDAG" on the bottom. What does that mean? The left one says: " KRATTE SVS MASUGN" Any idea what THAT means?

Re: Are these both Swedish pins?
As far as I know ( I am from Denmark - just next to Sweden) Kratte Masugn is a area in the part of Sweden called Dalarna. The Goedendag is probably a reference to a medieval club with spikes as explanind in Wiki (middle of page): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_star_(weapon)
But I do not know of the origin of the rigth one...

I ment the left one.
Masungn means the melting place where you melt the iron.

The one on the left says something along the lines of a blast furnace or some such!
