Latvia WWI Commemorative Medal for the Latvian War of Liberation 1918 1920

Latvia: Commemorative Medal for the Latvian War 
of Liberation, 1918 - 1920.
On the obverse: An arm holding a sword,the 3 
stars of Latvia, with laurel and oak branches on 
the left and right. Inscribed "1918 PAR TEVZEMI 
1920" (For the Fatherland, 1918-1920).
The "swastika" on the sword has no relation to 
the NAZI regime - it is in fact a geometrical 
symbol and religious icon, common in many 
cultures of Eurasia from the ancient times.
The medal was instituted in 1922 to be awarded 
to Latvian citizens who served in the National 
Army and fought against the German Freikorps 
and the Bolsheviks during the War of Liberation 
(18 Nov. 1918-11 Aug. 1920).
The medal is hard to find.
