Vintage Skaraborgs Regiment Officer Button 23 mm, m/60 – Sporrong

Vintage Skaraborgs Regiment Officer Button 23 mm, m/60 – Sporrong This Vintage Skaraborgs Regiment Officer Button (23 mm), m/60 pattern, is an authentic Swedish Army insignia produced by the renowned Sporrong, Sweden’s oldest manufacturer of uniform buttons and heraldic metalwork. It represents the highly respected Skaraborgs regemente (I 9), a regiment with deep historical roots dating back to the 1500s and a long-standing role in Sweden’s infantry forces. The obverse features the regiment’s heraldic shield: a rampant lion positioned diagonally, accompanied by three stars, and topped with the Swedish royal crown. The design symbolizes courage, nobility, and the battle-proven heritage of the Skaraborg soldiers. The m/60 pattern brings a slightly more modern, refined style typical of Swedish uniform upgrades introduced during the 1960s. Crafted in gilt brass, the button displays a bright, polished gold tone with crisp detailing across the shield, crown, and lion. The surface remains clean with only minimal signs of age, making it an excellent example of mid-20th-century Swedish officer insignia. The reverse is clearly stamped “SPORRONG”, confirming genuine manufacture and quality. The solid shank remains intact, making this piece ideal for collectors, display, or restoration of period uniforms. This button is a prized collectible for enthusiasts of Swedish militaria, regimental insignia, and Sporrong craftsmanship, offering both visual appeal and historical depth.
