Pinssi

[UncleBans]

Good day friends. I'm from Russia. Found pinssi and can't find out what kind of pinssi it is. If you have free time, you could not tell what this sign is. I think that Jar. Psto. (jarea patteristo) SA or Divisoona Lagusa. Material pinssi silver. I found this Kivenappa, Polviselka.

That "pinssi" has belonged to a Finnish border guard soldier, (Finnish border troops).It is so-called "command belt sign", or also "sign of the brother in arms", time between 1941-44.

Interesting. Do you know where I can find how many SA soldiers gave these pinssi?)

It's very difficult to say how many soldiers that mark has gaven. But at those time Finnish border guard troops were such small, only few patallions. Usually, the unit shared those kind signs to their own soldiers, to everyone who wanted them, or they bought them themselves. That sign was essentially a unofficial troop ID and a sign of the companionship of the soldiers of some troop. As you saw those kind signs were several hundreds differents, every troop has their own one. It is not a real official badge.
