Iver Olsen - Bergkorpsets fane i Røros Kirke, Sør Trøndelag, Norge
Summary
Arbeiderne ved norske bergverk var fritatt fra militærtjeneste. Under Gyldenløvefeiden i 1675 ble bergarbeiderne på Røros organisert i et frivillig bergkorps for å forsvare verdiene ved verket. Bergkorpset ble opphevet i 1818. De to fanene i Røros kirke ble anskaffet til bergkorpset i 1778. De er forsynt med Christian 7´s emblem, kobberverkets merke og den norske løve. Under er avbildet en bergsoldat, berget med kobberforekomstene og en smelthytte i drift.
