Vintage Västmanland Regiment Officer Button 24 mm – C.C. Sporrong & Co

This Vintage Västmanland Regiment Officer Button (24 mm) is an authentic example of Swedish regimental insignia, produced by the renowned C.C. Sporrong & Co, Stockholm. Worn by officers of the Västmanlands regemente (I 18), this button reflects the rich military tradition and heraldic heritage of the regiment, which traces its origins back to the 17th century.

The obverse features the regiment’s striking emblem — a crowned shield bearing a black griffin’s head on a golden field, symbolizing vigilance, courage, and regional identity. The crisp detailing and raised relief show the exceptional quality of Sporrong’s workmanship, long regarded as the finest producer of Swedish military buttons and insignia.

The reverse is stamped “C.C. SPORRONG & CO STOCKHOLM”, confirming its authenticity and mid-20th-century manufacture. Crafted from gilt brass, the button retains a bright, warm golden tone with light vintage patina, giving it both character and historical depth. Its shank is intact and strong.

These buttons were used on the dress and service uniforms of Västmanland Regiment officers, making them important artifacts of Swedish regimental history. Because regional regiments produced fewer uniform sets than national-level institutions, original buttons from Västmanland are increasingly sought after by collectors.

Ideal for enthusiasts of Swedish militaria, regimental heraldry, or C.C. Sporrong & Co uniform accessories, this button offers both fine craftsmanship and a direct link to Swedish military heritage.
