Vintage Swedish Defence Dentists Officer Button 22 mm – C.C. Sporrong & Co

This Vintage Swedish Defence Dentists Officer Button (22 mm) is an authentic and uncommon piece of Swedish military medical insignia, produced by the renowned C.C. Sporrong & Co, Stockholm. Issued to dentists serving within the Swedish Defence Forces, this button represents a specialized branch of military healthcare and is far rarer than standard army or service buttons.

The obverse features the classic Swedish royal crown above a finely detailed crossed sword and caduceus (medical staff) — the official insignia representing military medical officers. This emblem uniquely identifies personnel responsible for dental health within Sweden’s military medical corps, combining authority, service, and expertise. The design is crisp, elegant, and characteristic of Sporrong’s high-quality uniform production.

The reverse is clearly marked “C.C. SPORRONG & CO STOCKHOLM”, confirming its authenticity and mid-20th-century manufacture. Crafted in gilt brass, the button retains a bright golden tone with subtle natural patina, giving it both charm and historical presence. Its shank is intact, showing careful wear.

These buttons were worn on the dress uniforms of Defence Forces dental officers, making them both historically significant and sought after by collectors due to their lower production numbers compared to standard military branches.

Perfect for those interested in Swedish militaria, medical corps insignia, or rare uniform buttons, this Swedish Defence Dentists Officer Button is a fascinating artifact combining medicine, military tradition, and Scandinavian design excellence.
