Finnish WW2 War Industry Worker's Badge
Issued during the WWII era (Winter War / Continuation War) to civilians working in the Finnish war industry (e.g., munitions, weapons, and supply factories) to recognize their vital contribution to the national defense effort.
The centerpiece features the crowned Finnish lion holding a sword, the national emblem of Finland. It is a bronze-colored stick pin (neulakiinnitys) measuring approximately 40 mm in diameter.
Inscription: The outer edge bears the text "MAAN JA KANSAN PUOLESTA" (Finnish) and "FÖR FOLK OCH FOSTERLAND" (Swedish). Both phrases translate to "For Country and People" or "For People and Fatherland."
Serial Number: The "12850" stamped beneath the lion is a unique issue number, meaning this specific pin was registered to an individual worker.
Badge remain in excellent condition with the original pin on the back.
