CNY Militaria Posted January 6, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2019 I wanted to share this WWII era Kingdom of Norway, Order of St. Olav, Commander’s Star awarded to US Brigadier General Earl S. Hoag, who served as Commanding General European Division, Air Transport Command. It was made by I.Tostrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted January 6, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2019 Beautiful and scarce award. It is actually by J. Tostrup, for Jacob Tostrup, a jeweler in Norway that produced a lot of badges and awards. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Tostrup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted January 7, 2019 Good catch, I had read it as an "I" but see now. Thanks for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted January 7, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2019 Very nice piece. I would assume this is in line with most of the US uniform badges, but for reference how large is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted January 8, 2019 It is fairly large, about 3" wide and tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
