    Badge 4 is the 1st Class Medal of the Order of the White Rose of Finland. I don't know anything about the others, but the sword and arm on badges 1 & 2 looks very much like the device on the Finnish Cross of Liberty.

      The first two are civil guard (suojeluskunta) proficiency badges. Badge number 3 is a shooting badge, number 4 is indeed the medall of the order of the white rose, allthough it's standard ribbon is darkblue and the armband is just a reserve piece for members of that particular radio company.
      Thats what I got, I'm sure there are more finnish members out there who can fill in the blanks..
      To clarify my statement, I'd like ad that they are all finnish.

          They are all finnish.

          Nr 1 is The Civil Guards military interest badge, elite class.
          Nr 2 is The Civil Guards military interest badge, 1 class.
          Nr 3 is a Shooters badge 1921 pattern
          Nr 4 is the medal of the White Rose 1 class with gold cross, but it lacks the original dark blue ribbon. It looks like it has the ribbon to the veterans badge.
          The armband is a course-bracelet for a Radio company, probably course of 1930-31.

          I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).
