The arms and their blazon
The registered blazon specifies a five-pointed star with a roundel in each angle, all gold, on a red field within a gold bordure.
Background in the municipal sources
The municipality’s material traces the motif to an emblem dating from the 17th century, used on iron from Stenfors around 1750. The municipality says the design refers to the importance of ironworking; this is presented as its own account.
