Vintage Swedish Customs Officers Button, 24 mm, C.C. Sporrong & Co

This Vintage Swedish Customs Officers Button is a superb example of early 20th-century Swedish uniform insignia, crafted by the renowned C.C. Sporrong & Co, Stockholm. Measuring 24 mm in diameter and made from gilt brass, this button was used by officers of the Kungliga Tullverket (Royal Swedish Customs Service) — the state authority responsible for border control and trade regulation.

The obverse displays a beautifully detailed royal crown surrounded by the raised inscription “KUNGL. TULLVERKET” (Royal Customs), with a decorative star at the base. The crisp relief and finely textured background highlight Sporrong’s exceptional craftsmanship. The reverse bears the maker’s mark “C.C. SPORRONG & CO STOCKHOLM”, confirming its authenticity and period manufacture.

This button features a warm gilt brass finish with traces of natural patina, adding depth and historic character. The shank is intact and secure, indicating careful use and excellent preservation.

Produced during a time when Swedish uniforms combined function and elegance, this button is an authentic artifact of national service and design. It makes an ideal addition for collectors of Swedish militaria, civil service regalia, or European uniform history.
