Re: Winter War

I'm not sure if they're officer's insignia but I suspect not. I think they're from a soft cap. They're both beautifully enamelled and the hammer/sickle devices are brass. They have a weight that later Soviet stuff lacked. There are also three little triangle devices...one is missing, that went on epaulettes we think.
Somewhere here I also have a 'Lotta Svärd' (women's auxilliary) badge too that belonged to my grandmother. I had my grandfather's bayonet also but I gave it to a friend who collects such things.
