The bar reads KARJALAN KANNAS. Any ideas?
Also, is the ribbbon bar original
Many thanks
Andy
KARJALAN KANNAS means that the reciepient fought in the Karelian Isthmus during the Winter War. I'd say it's original, i haven't seen any fakes of these awards.
Thanks Antti for all the help on the Finnish medals.
Regards
Andy
There are fakes of the finnish air force cross with "stepped" edges, but no problems with this group.
