Finnish Lotta Svärd 10 year members badge.
A scarce Lotta Svärd 10-Year Long Service / Membership Badge from Finland
Unlike standard membership badges, these anniversary badges denoted long-standing dedication and active commitment to the organization
Featuring deep blue enamel with the numeral "10" at the center and silver-toned floral corner details, this piece carries serial number 47199 on the reverse
Because the 10-year service badge was only instituted in 1939 and the Lotta Svärd organization was permanently disbanded in November 1944, all examples of this badge were manufactured and awarded within that narrow roughly 5.5-year window (1939–1944).
Based on the serial number 47199 stamped on the reverse, and given that the highest known recorded number for this specific 10-year badge type is roughly 49,099, your badge dates to the later years of World War II (likely 1943–1944), near the end of the organization's existence.
A highly collectible milestone badge from one of the most prominent women’s auxiliary forces of the Second World War.
