Finnmedals International

My name is Jani Tiainen. I am the onwer of the Finnmedals and live in Espoo, near the capital of FINLAND.

I have studied Art History in the University of Helsinki in 1990's and focused on heraldry and phaleristics. More than 70 articles of mine have appeared in Finnish magazines during the last few years. I worked with the Finpro (The Foreign Trade Assoc. Of Finland) for last 4 years but have been full time author since January.

I have been collecting Finnish Liberation War orders and medals since the beginning of the 90´s and I am always keen to buy all kinds of better Finnish militaria for myself and for my customers. About three years ago I started building my Imperial German and EK1 collection... we will see what happens, but not much to show right now. Even I am dealer I am also collector who understands the needs of other collectors. I have very liberal return policy and good lay away plan possibilities.

As I have started to learn more and more from foreign Orders and medas, so is Finnmedals all the time incresing its stock with other international lots ... not only just Finnish ODM's. Offer us anyhting which is original and in good condition... I have several want lists waiting for dreams to be fulfilled.

You will find a good selection of Finnish and other orders, medals, decorations, books and militaria on our internet cataloque. You can also pay securely with credit cards and secure immediate shipment. You may also see us on auctions like eBay and local Finnish Huuto.Net - with the username Finnmedals at eBay and januzr at Huuto.net.

We will never carry reproductions - We do not buy, sell or trade with them. Since the reproductions are making collectors life harder and harder avery day. I can honestly recommend this website: Wehrmacht-awards.com, That has really been best $20 I have spent.

I have an experience of international trade since the early 90's from medal dealing and later from the Foreign trade Association of Finland, and believe me, thousands of miles long transactions are the postman's problems, not the collector´s.

Buy with confidence and good collecting
