Background in local sources
Falkenberg Municipality’s guideline says the arms were registered with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office on 1 October 1973. It distinguishes the arms from the municipal logo, which adds the name “Falkenbergs kommun” to the heraldic symbol. The guideline also describes the formal and special contexts in which the arms are used.
