An unusual and highly collectible desk seal or commemorative stamp associated with the German Narvik Campaign of 1940.

The stamp face features the Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika, surrounded by the inscription “Narvik 1940 Erinnerung” (Narvik 1940 Remembrance), commemorating one of the most significant early campaigns of the Second World War.

Mounted on a turned wooden handle with a weighted metal seal face, this piece was likely produced as a commemorative souvenir or veterans’ remembrance item relating to service during the Norwegian campaign.

The Narvik Campaign held particular significance for German mountain troops, naval personnel and Luftwaffe units involved in the fighting around the strategic Norwegian port.

A fascinating historical artefact appealing to collectors of militaria, wartime memorabilia and twentieth-century historical objects.
