I am missing out on the MAX this year, but I just returned home form Norway with a couple of additions to my Norway collection.

I would like to thank Morten, from Bergen, for the first item. This is a Military Ski Badge awarded from 1915 to 1945. There were only 5,000 of these awarded in silver and 300 in gold (it took a five silver badges earned before eligibility for a gold one).

I also picked up a souvenir Viking longboat to use as a backdrop to these items Big Grin

Here is the badge:

Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.
