While I don’t know about those exact ribbons, they’re usually given with correaponding medals. At least now they are. There weren’t any medals or medal certificates left from your grampa?
The ribbon colours are same as in winter war and continuation war medals.
Not a Fin, but question got me looking and if I’m wrong then please correct me. It looks like the red and black one is the Winter War medal. One source says the other is for the Winter War as well
The rightmost is Winter War memorial medal ribbon. Left one could be ribbon for Vapaudenmitali VM2. Vapaudenmitali VM2 was probably the most common decoration for non-officers (the jacket has sergeant insignia) and was given for some merit.
You might be able to find your granpa’s registration card from the archive if you want more info. Unfortunately [archive query](https://kansallisarkisto.fi/tilaa-kantakortti) requires Finnish authentication.
You can also [check here first](https://www.sotapolku.fi/henkilot/), but by default it only has info about those who died in the wars.
From left to right:
Order of the Cross of Liberty, Bronze Medal 2nd
Class
and
WW2 Commemorative Medal for the Winter War
against the Soviet Union (1939-1940).
