Swedish Badges

[uscob]

Does anybody knows a good Website to ID swedish Military Badges like these?

Also these:
I guess, the blue one is a civil Drivers Badge or so.
Maybe an early one, the engraved number is 153.

Does anybody knows this one?

Nico,

I couldn't find a good reference site for Swedish badges but here is a site selling them which might give you an idea of what the badges you posted picture of are worth.

Civilian stuff...

The bronze badges are non-military issue awards, for marksmanship and skiing, respectively. The skiers' badge was, I believe, allowed for wear to uniform as these could also be awarded during military service. Both of these were awarded in bronze, silver and gold.

The other badges are most likely civilian, too, or at least not regular issue military awards.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with any good reference sites.

Cheers,
Mikael

Thank's guy's.
It's hard to find Info on the Stuff.
Mostly you find the Stuff on tradera.com, but 99% of the Badges are marked just a old military Badge, so you can't get an Idea on what they are.
I have hundreds of Swedish Badges, some I could ID, but many not.
I had some good lists, but with my last PC Crash I lost them.
Like the Majblomer, wich are all diffferent over the years.
May 1st Badges are easy as most of them are dated except for this one.
Also no Idea on the Metal Badge, here it's a Miniature of the larger one.
Interesting that my mini's are painted, the large ones not.
Reminds me on the old Divers Flag, but for sure it's not.

Interesting communist party 1st of May badge...

The small badge is a sports badge for orienteering; the flag is the one used to mark a control (post). Civilian stuff!

The small badge with crossed rifles is the gold grade of the "short distance (50 m), small caliber (. 22) shooting badge".

You need to score at least 190 points out of 200 at a minimum of three competitions during a year (from Jan 1 to Dec 31)
Laying down position

Or

Score at least 180 points out of 200 at a minimum of three competitions during a year.
But then it includes the Laying, kneeeling and standing postions.

Forgot to mention

You first need to qualify for bronze and silver badges to get the gold one. Only one badge per year. So gold will take You a minimum of three years to get.

[Karl S]

The first shooting badge shown, have been in existance for over 100 years. Requirements have changed over the years.
Todays rules say:

6,5 x 55 caliber rifle at 300 meter
Score at least 120 points out of 150 at a minimum of three competitions during a year.
Laying down position.
