With the three crowns and the lion (as a shield holder), the weapon on offer makes reference to the coat-of-arms of the Swedish Kingdom; the dolphin represents Sweden's proximity to the sea. This very decorative, carefully-crafted Historicism weapon is likely to have been commissioned. It was sold as an original at the Auction Fischer, Lucerne 2000 under Lot No. 16 for CHF 14'000.-.
