Necklace Armor

Stylish and tastefully detailed necklace in genuine silver which is then coated with a durable layer of genuine gold to mimic the eye-catching beret logo.

That the forerunner of the armored troops was the heavily armored cavalry, popularly called knights, is clearly visible in the heraldry cultivated in the arms. The foundation for the Swedish armored troops was laid shortly after the First World War when a small number of tanks were purchased. Training on these tanks was initially assigned to I1. In 1925, the first tank battalion was formed, which was assigned to the Göta Life Guards. In 1942, the armored troops were organized as an independent branch of the army and three regiments were converted into pure armored regiments.

The armored troops were among the first in 1960, along with the K4 and I22, to be issued berets, if you don't count the black German-style tank cap that had been around since around 1930. In the same year, 1960, the beret insignia for the armored troops as we know it today was introduced. The hexagonal wheel surrounding a heavily armored arm holding a sword in an attack position.

This Pansar necklace is carefully crafted and comes with a necklace in an exclusive black jewelry case adorned with the golden troop crest.
