Swedish 1954 Police Large & Small Cap Badges

This set of Swedish 1954 Police Cap Badges includes both the large and small versions, making it a complete and highly collectible pair of official police insignia from mid-20th century Sweden.

Crafted in gilt metal, the badges feature the Swedish coat of arms with the Three Crowns, surmounted by a regal crown symbolizing national authority. Surrounding the shield are crossed batons and oak leaves, representing justice, law enforcement, and duty. The larger badge was typically worn on the front of the police service cap, while the smaller badge was used on side caps or other uniform variations.

Both badges are stamped on the reverse with “Sporrong & Co Stockholm”, the renowned Swedish insignia manufacturer known for producing official military and police badges. This maker’s mark confirms their authenticity and adds to their collectible value.

These police cap badges, introduced in 1954, reflect the Swedish police uniform tradition of the post-war era. Durable yet elegant in design, they served not only as identification but also as proud symbols of authority and service.

Today, such badges are sought after by collectors of Scandinavian police memorabilia, European insignia, and mid-20th century law enforcement artifacts. This matched set, featuring both large and small versions, is especially desirable as many have been separated over time.
