buellmeister Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Gents, On my way home today I decided to make a quick stop at one of the local Antique Stores and happened upon this little Swedish Pin. It looks as though it could be a cap badge of some sort. It really is an attractive piece and will be my one and only item of Swedish militaria to date. the reverese is stamped, "Sporrong & Co. Stockholm" Any further information would greatly be appreciated.Regards,Joel
Peter J Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Hi Joel,That's the insignia for Swedish officers visor hat before 1952.cheersPeter
buellmeister Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Peter, Tacke su Micha! I believe it is how it is stated in your native Language. I appreciate your help!Regards,Joel
Mikael G Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Hi, Actually, it's not a cap badge per se, even though the design is that of a Swedish Army model 1939 officers' cap badge. The cap badge is larger, and in bronze metal (although with the enameled centre piece). The pictured, smallish, badge in gold metal is more of a sweetheart badge, or lapel badge used for civilian wear; i.e., not any official military badge. Cheers, Mikael Edited February 17, 2010 by Mikael G
Peter J Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I stand corrected The cap-badge should feature two prongs for attachment. cheers Peter
