Blazon: I grønt en gull skålvekt. In English: Vert scales or.
Approved by the crownprince-regent's resolution of 20 November 1987 after a
drawing by Bjørn Sigurd østern. [c2j88]
The site shows the arms
on a local manhole, and explains it as "an ancient symbol of justice that shows
Eidsvoll's importance in the older and the newer Norwegian history" presuming
that we would know what the importance might be.
Of course, Eidsvoll is probably the best known as the place where the Norwegian
constitution was signed, but I suspect that the scales represent some
other things as well.

From the 11th century till the 17th century, Eidsvoll was the location of the
East-Norwegian ting; its court of justice if you will. This would probably be
its importance in the older Norwegian history, and the reason for the scales of
justice in the shield. In the newer history, Eidsvollsbygningen was indeed where
the constitution was signed in 1814.
