Information from Internet :
The Finnish "Cuckoo" medal is the popular name for medal of a participant in the Winter War of 1939–1940 (Finnish Talvisodan muistomitali 1939–1940). It was established on August 2, 1940 to reward participants in the war with the USSR, as well as those who provided significant assistance in defending Finland's independence.
Below is an overview of the medal, its bars (clasps) and their meanings.
The "Cuckoo" Medal (Talvisodan muistomitali)
Name: "Cuckoo" (named after the similarity of the image on the reverse with a cuckoo on a branch, although officially it is an allegorical image of victory, often interpreted as a hand in armor holding a sword).

Material: Mainly made of iron (often blackened) or bronze.
Ribbon: Black with two blue stripes (the colors of the Finnish flag and mourning).
Swords (clasp)
For direct participants in hostilities, crossed swords were attached to the medal ribbon.
