When I saw this on a German auction site, I knew that I had to have it.
Here is a fob that was definitely war time. These fobs were private purchase items sold to the soldiers who participated in the war against the Russians. Mostly Germans, but there were large contingents of other nationalities, mostly Nordic countries, who were supporting the Finns.
This is a fob with a new and unique travel badge (to me). It has two badges that I have seen before and that are associated with war time frame.
The bottom pin is one for Salla, the middle pin is for the Petsamo-Rovaniemi road.
The top pin is dated 1941-42 and has the towns/regions of Salla-Alakuortti-Kantalahti. This is the pin that I really wanted to add to my collection.
