File talk:SR ARMS proposals.jpg

The arms would need to reflect Sweden and Denmark. Given that the SR built from Denmark (which included Norway at the time) I don't know how independent Norway is. Given that the SR contains Finland (but that it was part of Sweden) the following may need to be represented:

1. Denmark and Sweden
2. Denmark, Sweden and Finland
3. Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland

I would suggest it be the last option, with the crest in the middle being the three crowns blazon that we see used in both countries. BoArthur

IMO this would be better for the Archqueen's personal arms than the Realm's arms. The SR seems to operate on the basis of equality for all states; in other words, the city-state of Tsingtao is no more important than the mighty Danish or Swedish kingdoms. I'd think that when they adopted that constitution, they invented a totally new coat of arms that reflects that equality. Probably something simple rather than something with 20-odd quarterings, too. The monarchs, however, would keep the old dynastic arms, maybe with Oldenburg moved to a quarter and the SR arms placed on an inescucheon. Benkarnell 15:36, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

three more things to look at

I don't know how amenable the Oldenburg family would be to having their arms simplified (their genuine arms are quite complex). On the other hand, it is not without precedent. Here are a few other possibilities/ideas. Zahir 17:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
