Heraldry of the Swedish Armed Forces 2006 Coat of Arms

Description: The Swedish defense is undergoing a rapid change from invasion defense to intervention defense. Traditions and ceremonies change and renew. An important part of these traditions concerns the heraldic arms that have been used since the Middle Ages as military recognition signs with origins and roots in national symbols, regional coats of arms and figureheads. The state's defense history museums, which have the task of promoting knowledge of Swedish defense throughout the ages and of the role of defense in social development, see against this background a documentation and presentation of the Armed Forces' established heraldic arms during the 20th century and their origin as an urgent task. The heraldic tradition over time has followed the development of the defense by continuously developing heraldic weapons for new functions within the defense while the needs for change arising from mergers, closures, etc. have been continuously handled from a heraldically correct perspective. Today, the responsibility for this work lies with the State's Defense History Museums in collaboration with the State Heraldry. This book is the first compilation of a total of 393 heraldic weapons that were used, processed and reused for over 300 years, forming a rich, military heraldic cultural heritage - a cultural heritage that is still in use and precisely because of this can arouse extra great interest from both the public and the Armed Forces itself. Written by Lieutenant-colonel Christian Braunstein, Royal Life Guard Dragoons. He has earlier written several books concerning the history, the ceremonials and the traditions of the Swedish Armed Forces Book is written in both English and Swedish. Like new, 101 pages.
