Copper alloy/ 23mm, gold-gilded

Rev/ C SPORRONG & CO - STOCKHOLM

Seller's Note/ Sporrong is one of the oldest companies in the Nordic region. The business was originally founded as a belt-maker’s in Stockholm back in 1666 by Henrik Grau, Master Craftsman. Following several changes of name and ownership, the business was taken over in 1842 by Carl Claes Sporrong, the last Master of the Belt-Makers’ Guild in Stockholm, who also gave the company its current name.

Well and good. As to how this fancy officer's blazer button ended up in farmer's field in north-east Croatia? Your guess is as good as ours.
