Arthur, here is a (crude) translation of the article link provided by Glenn.
The result is a very special brooch , as the Queen was presented with when she Wednesday ran a delegation from the Regiment led by the regimental commander, Colonel TM Paulsen at Amalienborg. The piece is made of gold and silver. The various elements of the jewelry symbolizes Slagelse region and the Regiment and regimental association with Slagelse municipality . But there are also ancient history with the jewelery.
Trelleborg's ring violence from 980 constitutes the piece base and is made of yellow-white. On top of this is the poet H.C. Andersen's silhouette in red gold . The poet was a student at Slagelse Latin School 1822 to 1826 and later until his death in 1875, a frequent guest on Holsteinborg Castle , where a significant part of his oeuvre is written.
In the jewelery left side seen Anders Holy Cross, also in gold. The cross stands today on Hvilehøj west of Slagelse city . Holy Anders was pastor at St. Petersburg . Peter's church in Slagelse and died in 1205th
The right side is the regiments crowned monogram in gold and in the middle six screws that are used by the regiment on the horses' harness. The screws are made of silver with oxyderinger in the middle. The screws are originally from the Indian Ocean and is brought by sea of Arab merchants to Africa, where they were used for both decoration and for payment.
