Lotta-Svärd

[Arctica]

Today Mr. Aquila and I hit the same field where I found the double eagle buckle yesterday. Today I was even luckier. I found this silver Lotta-Svärd badge.



Lotta-Svärd was a Finnish voluntary auxiliary paramilitary organisation for women.

More information about Lotta Svärd can be found from here:

I also found some old coppers, one Russian military button one bale seal and a copper brooch

Arctica congrats for that silver badge ! My findings from same site. Old copper coins, lead horse, bullets, copper pin with flowers etc.

An interesting symbolism on that badge - rose as symbol for women and a star for military, in short, belligerent ladies
