Additions : 1974-1983 Österåker
Official blazon
Sköld kluven av rött och silver med en av en vågskura bildad samt av motsatta tinkturer samt i främre hälften framstäven av ett framkommande och på stammen seglande skepp av silver samt i bakre hälften ett på stammen stående rött fästningstorn.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1944.
The arms combine the elements of two old seals of the city: the tower from a seal from the 16th century and the ship from a seal from the 19th century.
The fortress tower symbolises the fortifications since the days of King Gustav Vasa. The ship refers to the importance of the city as a harbour.
The arms as shown by Liljeblad, 1878 |
The arms in the Kaffe Hag album +/- 1935 |
