Help identifying reel?

Going through my Dad’s stuff as I posted earlier (about all the rod building stuff). Anyway I found about a dozen old reels. I have been able to identify the ones like Alcedo,Penn, etc. but one has no name. Just a crest like a coat of arms on one side and Made in Sweden on the other. It’s a bait caster. Silver in color. Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like an old Abu Garcia.

Probably an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur.

Thanks, I looked that up and that’s what it is. The little Abu Garcia button in the middle is missing. I may be back though, I still have two more boxes of reels to go through and I found another cabinet of thread and tape today. Much appreciated guys.
