Concluding our review of the arms carved on the exterior of the Posthallen in Oslo, here are the fifth and sixth columns of arms, starting at the top of Column 5:
Bergen
Meløy (maybe. Meløy comes closest to the depiction on the Posthallen that I've been able to find.)
Flekkefjord
Arendal (The modern arms of Arendal are on the blue and silver shield.)
Risør
Column
6:
Tromsø (probably. The carved arms on the Posthallen have some details that do not appear in the modern arms of Tromsø, but nothing else I've found matches better.)
I have not found this coat of arms. I suspect that the modern arms used by the
community have been greatly simplified from this depiction or changed
completely.
Vardø
Bodø (The modern, much simplified arms of Bodø are the golden sun on the red shield here.)
Kristiansund
And there you have it! Six long carved columns, each containing five
different coats of arms, for a wonderful - and large! - display of heraldry.
