Royal Norwegian Navy Presentation Shield | KNM Tordenskjold Crest, 1973 Painted Metal Plaque on Wooden Mount Gift
$175.00
Step back into the golden age of Cold War-era Scandinavian naval history with this original Royal Norwegian Navy presentation shield from KNM Tordenskjold. Mounted on a shaped wooden plaque, this striking piece combines official military identity with clean Scandinavian presentation, making it an outstanding display object for collectors of naval history, militaria, and Nordic design.
The front features a finely detailed painted metal crest with rich red, blue, white, green, and gold toned decoration beneath the royal crown. The raised border and heraldic elements are crisp and well defined, while the warm varnished wooden mount gives the piece a formal and classic presentation. On the reverse, the original presentation card remains in place, stating that it was given by Sjøforsvarets Administrasjonsskole in May 1973 and hand signed in blue ink by Commander S. A. Hansen, Chief of the Naval Administration School at the time.
This combination of official naval insignia, strong visual design, and documented period provenance makes it far more than a decorative plaque. It is a compelling piece of Norwegian military history that displays beautifully in an office, study, maritime collection, or Cold War era display.
