No, they didn´t, but the losses for the bolsheviks were so heavy, that Finland remained unoccupied.

Nice stuff, now you need one of these to go with the rest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVS-36

The Finns captured lots of these .

Thanks again guys, i would love to have that rifle. But they are rare and expensive.

Very interesting! Can't say that I've seen either one of those medals before.

Among the most common Finnish medals, but still very nice. IMO.
