Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1944. The Iron Sign symbolises the Iron Works, the lower part is taken from the arms of Louis De Geer, a Wallon imigrant.
In the Middle of the 17th Century He bought the Finnspång Estate, and begun a modernisation of the Iron Works beginning a nearly 200 year period of the Works.


Literature: Nevéus and de Waern, 1992
