Lotta Svärd

[Don Scowen]

I just had some Lotta Svärd pieces in which is an area that I am not very interested in, amongst them were these small pieces which I believe are skiing/marching badges. The gold one has makings on the back which resemble hallmarks, but I guess that they could just be maker marks, any idea?

Also any help with a value please as I will need to shift them.

Thanks

Don

I don't know why the gold one appears twice above!!

There was also this white star which I think is a training badge?

Hi Don,
sitting at work doing the graveyard shift now so i don´t have access to my books ATM in regards of the different badges but the markings on the gold ski badge is as follows - 1st makersmark of Suomen Kultaseppä OY, 2nd national marking for Finland, 3rd is a silver (H for Hopea) marking with silver content 813, 4th is the marking for the city of Helsinki and the 5th is the year mark for 1943.

Wow, thank you for the information Hans.

Any idea regarding value? I imagine that these are not particularly valuable or collectable, but they are outside of my area of collecting so I need to find them a new home.

Cheers
Don

Hi Don,

regarding value i have no qlue. I don´t collect them my self anymore so i am not up to date with them these days and don´t even dare to make a guess

The "OL" on the membership badges is the manufacturer Oskar Lindroos from Helsinki as well.

OK, I understand, thank you. Maybe someone else can help.

Cheers
Don

Well, since there is no right answer let's put it this way... If these were mine, I would be asking:
POST#1

• 70€ (2nd class)
• 65€ (1st class with 2 cones)
• 10€-15€ (3rd class)

POST#2

• 25€ (membership badge)
• 30€ (which I am now offering for the 20 years badge)
• 10€-15€ (10 years badge)
