Official blazon
En häst av silver på blått fält, bestrött med kugghjul av samma metall.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 31, 1918.
The arms are not based on old seals, but are devised in 1918. The arms show the symbols of industry and horsebreeding, the two main occupations in the beginning of the 20th century. The horse also symbolises the fact that a local legend states that the lands were created by a white horse.
 The arms in the Kaffe Hag album +/- 1935 |
