Editing Gorget (section)

===In Sweden===
As early as 1688, regulations were provided for the wearing of gorgets by Swedish army officers. For those of captain's rank the gorget was gilt with the king's monogram under a crown in blue enamel, while more junior officers wore silver-plated gorgets with the initials in gold.<ref>Preben Kannik, ''Alverdens Uniformer I Farver'', p. 151</ref>

The gorget was discontinued as a rank insignia for Swedish officers in the [[Swedish Armed Forces]] in 1792, when [[epaulette]]s were introduced. The gorget was revived in 1799, when the [[Officer of the day]] was given the privilege of wearing a gorget which featured the Swedish [[Coat of arms of Sweden#The lesser coat of arms|lesser coat of arms]]. It has since been a part of the officer's uniform (when he or she functions as "Officer of the day") a custom which continues.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}
