Winter War & Continuation War (Condition: Very Fine)
This exceptionally honest and well-preserved pair of Finnish World War II commemorative medals represents the entire arch of Finland’s heroic struggle against Soviet aggression. The lot includes the 1939–1940 Winter War Medal (Talvisodan Muistomitali), struck in its distinctive blackened iron, which was awarded to those who defended the nation against the initial Soviet invasion. It is paired with the 1941–1945 Continuation War Medal (Jatkosodan Muistomitali) struck in bronze, awarded for the subsequent campaigns to reclaim lost territory. Both pieces retain their crisp design elements and display an untouched, original age patina. Crucially, the Winter War medal features its original period mounting pin still stitched to the reverse of the ribbon with its authentic black thread, confirming that this historically complete veteran's set has remained completely unaltered since the war.
