The gold frame is normally an automatic attachment to a ribbon decoration . In certain cases , however , awards may be issued both with and without the gold frame depending upon the level of achievement .

Sotilasmestari Sotilasmestari ( Militärmästare in Swedish , Chief Warrant Officer or Sergeant Major in English ) is a Finnish military rank above Ylivääpeli ( Överfältväbel ) and below Vänrikki ( Fänrik ) . History and related ranks . The rank derives from the " erikoismestari " ( " Master Specialist " ) rank that was originally available only in some branches of service . Early in the history of independent Finland ' s armed forces , graduates of the professional NCO school ( see " Maanpuolustusopisto " ) were promoted to " vääpeli " ( " Sergeant First Class " ) upon graduation , but could not be promoted further , which led to frustration among outstandingly competent NCOs . Because of this , the " erikoismestari " rank was made available to all branches , and renamed " sotilasmestari " ( Sergeant Major , " Master of the Military " directly translated from Finnish ) . Furthermore , the rank of " ylivääpeli " ( " Master Sergeant " ) was also introduced . A Finnish speciality was that " sotilasmestari " was ranked higher in Finnish army than " vänrikki " ( Second Lieutenant ) in peace time . That was because " sotilasmestari " was a professional soldier with decades of experience , but " vänrikki " ( Second Lieutenant ) was a young reservist or a fresh graduate of the Cadet School . In wartime , the tables turned and " vänrikki " ( Second Lieutenant ) rank was higher than " sotilasmestari " . In a 1993 reform , the professional NCO school ( Maanpuolustusopisto ) was " upgraded " such that graduates received the rank of " vänrikki " ( Second Lieutenant ) upon graduation , and the intermediate ranks ( " vääpeli , ylivääpeli , sotilasmestari " ) were no longer actively awarded . The old NCOs with these ranks in active service were automatically promoted to officers overnight in August 1994 . The rank of " sotilasmestari " remained active until the last NCOs with the rank retired , or were promoted to " luutnantti " ( First Lieutenant ) . The professional NCO corps was founded again in 2007 , and these ranks were reactivated . Only the old Finnish speciality that " sotilasmestari " was senior to " vänrikki " in peacetime was abolished .
