Ring with Finnish airforce swastika

[Aquila]

I found this ring near WW2 anti-aircraft-battery. It has marking 1943 and Finnish airforce swastika symbol. It´s little different of nazi swastika. My best ring find .

Awesome ring! I didn't know the Finnish Air Force used the swastika. HH and welcome to the forum, Mike

Neat find. Is it iron? Check this article, talks about such a ring produced for the war effort but I don't know if it's the same one you have.

PBK,
interesting sites. Thanks

Have done some reading on the winter war,
but not with a focus on the Air Force.

Great find! For the sake of gaining knowledge I'd be curious how this could be attributed to the Finnish Air Force, as the NSDAP (Nazi Party) did use this form of the swastika (non-slanted). In what country was this found?

 

[Bavaria Mike]

The ring is probably made of brass. HH, Mike

 

[Deno]

That is to cool. Nice historic find.

 

[HolyDiver]

Nice find. I wonder what the value of it would be?

if its center is like a "+" sign straight 90 degree angles --its a finnish good luck * symbol ring -- if it is not its the nazi type symbol. -- the finnish symbols used on their planes was also "blue" not black in color --the finns masterfully played the russians and germans against one another allying back and forth to stay a free and independant country during WW2 -- that and fierce fighting by their small number of troops kept them free from both nazi and soviet control during WW2 .and the russians after the war, ( because land russians took over they kept after WW2)
