Badge found hidden in a 1950's jewellery box

[Caverncity]

Hello all. I have searched high and low including image search and Google translate etc but can't find anything. This pin badge was found in a jewellery box, the box dates back to the 50's, it was hidden for some reason, maybe just fell down the back. It has a makers mark on the back which I'll upload asap. Any ideas, is it military? Is it German? thanks in advance

I was thinking perhaps Scandinavian.
A quick Google shows the 3rd Swedish Crusade, 1293, but I'm probably way out with that.

On second thoughts Russian for Vyburg is Выборг, which is written on the badge, a statue to Torkel Knutsson, who led the campaign was erected there.

I found the other statue of Torkel Knutsson easily enough when I was looking but didn't think that was it the photo you have posted is the one on the badge. Great thanks
