Hi Kemi.
I certainly wouldn't say that your collection is small. What I would say is that it is very nice to see

fantastic items thanks for sharing them with us.
Those Finnish coat-of-arms lions are from officers parade arm-bands. Made of silk or other high quality cloth. Pre 1950-ties
But they are missing their arm-bands.
Consripts had cheap printed lion arm-bands.
Finnish waffen-ss sleeve lions are specific machine made, these are not.
some Finnish photos I recently bought. is a mix of about 80 cards. here are some I find a little extra exciting
New helmet coming in the Mail soon, got it for 250 € i think it was a good deal for a new finnish helmet
finnish trench art from 1939/1940 made of wood and depicts a Russian and Finnish soldier
Wooden heads are certainly more uncommon trench art choice to make. I like "Piippalakki" Budyonovka head.
I think they are very decorative to have. have never seen such either. my thought is that maybe it is chess pieces
Finnish / Russian WWI Era M17 Sohlberg Infantry Helmet
The life of the Sohlberg helmet as a frontline combat helmet was unfortunately short-lived, as after Civil War broke out in 1918 the 500 or so remaining helmets in the Finns possession were taken by Communist Red Guards before again being liberated by the pro Conservative "White" Guard victors. The helmets were issued to the Helsinki Regiment, before being withdrawn in 1920 and were then passed into service with Fire, and Civil Defense units.
