Re: The Cross of Liberty Awards
Very nice medals Mike , the Liberty cross 4th class is a super design .
REGARDS AL
We are the Pilgrims , master, we shall go
Always a little further : it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea...

Re: The Cross of Liberty Awards
I also want to point out the different hallmarks on the two 1st Class Medals of Liberty: on the one with the Red Cross, the hallmark has the Finnish crown stamp. On the other it appears to have a heart stamp - however I think it may be the Swedish triple crowns stamp. I believe Finland did get some awards made in Sweden by Sporrong & Co., Stockhom.
Reference: Basic Hallmarks Identification
Update: On the 1941 Liberty Medal the hallmark in question is the Finnish crown and not the Swedish triple crown stamp.

Re: The Cross of Liberty Awards
Here's a link to Finnish date codes. Date codes are important to verify if that advertised medal is indeed from the period its claimed to be. Some Finnish medals were produced post war and collectors should be aware that unscrupulous or just plain unaware seller might advertise a medal as prewar or WW2 when its not.
