Approved by the crownprince-regent resolution of 20 November 1987 anfer a
drawing by Dag Magne Staurheim. [c2j88] (also
stating it was a royal resolution, but I would follow the legal source above for
that detail.)

from Torpa).
The municipal site explains that such hooks were used by loggers, following the
rich municipal tradition in logging. It further explains that each smith had
its own design for the hooks, and those depicted are the type that were
manufactured by one of the most famous N.L. smiths, one Kristian Halden
(1867-1956). These were popular among loggers and called "Halden poles"
