Finnish East Front Cross

[Rolf D.]

I have what I believe to be a Finnish East Front Medal but I am not sure on the value. As I don't have a digital camera so I cannot post any pictures or take some of the medal. If anybody can advise me on the value I would be most grateful.
Thanks!

Could you describe it? Is it black, with a soldier aiming with a rifle?

There are no such thing as Finnish eastmedal etc...

At the Russian front - first in winter war and later in Finnish-Russo war 1941-1945 the Campaign crosses were instituded.

Alltogether we have about 50 Official campaign crosses - representing the Division or battle site. You may see all pictured here: http://www.wehrwolf.net -> Finnish awards, and then check the last two topics: Winter war and Continuation war...

...or send me description?

Nice Avatar you have there, Jani And you're abselutely right, we don't have an eastfront medal in that sence as the germans did..

[Rolf D.]

My mistake

Sorry I got the two mixed up. What I am referring to is the Nordfront medal with the white face (not the black).

Here is a link to the medal and it is on the bottom of the page on the left. Thanks!

Valuations of Nordfront kreuz.

Northfront cross - most common is the one with the white backround - price 100 - 150 €.

Other backround colors may reach up to 250€, note that there are also several different types on years! No-one has though researched them so that we would know for sure which spesific year-type is most uncommon.

The rare one is the eismeerfronkreuz - It has Map of Northern Finland pictured on the centre - otherwise it's like Northfront cross.

I will see If I can find some pictures...

Attached picture with 4 different types of the Northfront Cross - and one Eismeerfront cross - see small differences in types.
