File talk:SR ARMS proposals.jpg
From IBWiki
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:
- Denmark and Sweden
- Denmark, Sweden and Finland
- 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)
- 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)
