JBFloyd Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 The central device has the arms of Copenhagen, but no further information. It's marked on the reverse by Sporring. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I have seen this one a few times. I have a similar photo on file (also marked Sporrong) I made a note at some point, that this is for a Copenhagen 'shooting club' (or guild or whatever English translation works best - Danish word is 'skyttelaug'). Very popular since the end of the 1800s and well into the 1900s. Made by Sporrong in Sweden - probably because it was cheaper or more convenient. I also have a photo of a similar one with an added wreath and 'K S' (Københavns Skyttelaug) under the 3 towers.
