German/Finnish WW2 winter war Petsamo Rovaniemi Tradition Badge
Wartime badge commemorating the strategic Arctic Ocean Road (Jäämerentie) route connecting Rovaniemi to Petsamo on the Arctic Ocean.
These badges were popular keepsakes worn by Finnish personnel, transport workers, and German soldiers (Gebirgsjäger and Luftwaffe) stationed along the Lapland and Arctic fronts during the Continuation War.
Blue and white enamel featuring the map outline of Finnish Lapland, a running Arctic reindeer, and a route marker connecting PETSAMO and ROVANIEMI.
Stamped HOPEATAKOMO O.Y. on the reverse backplate—a prestigious Helsinki silversmith and metalworking workshop.
Includes its maker-stamped matching screwback nut (HOPEATAKOMO O.Y.) with deep fluted edge grip.
Excellent condition.
Finding these Petsamo–Rovaniemi badges complete with their original Hopeatakomo-marked screw nut is becoming increasingly rare. A fantastic piece of Finnish home front, Arctic War, or German Gebirgsjäger crossover militaria.
