There are a few of these and I believe the earliest dates back to the late 1940s. Still looking for some of those for my collection, but haven't found any so far

Nice collection. Finding these small niched items always compliment a collection.

A few more.  I have more but the site won't accept the photos saying the image is too large (?)

Great patches, looking forward to see more! Have you tried one of these image resizing apps?

I'll have to check that out.  None of my phone camera or saved images are being accepted.  Thank you.

Awesome! The one with the crossed spade / hand grenade is my favourite. Is it engineers?

That would be my guess but truthfully I'm not sure and I have not been able to find a reference on uniform insignia from Finland.  If anyone knows of one and can provide the title it would be much appreciated.

I was curious about what part of the uniform these badges were worn on.  An internet search answered the question.
