The two coats of arms have in this article previously been called the Greater Coat of Arms of the Realm and the Lesser Coat of Arms of the Realm in English. These names are, however, largely invented and doesn't match official Swedish terminology in English. Both the Royal Court and Swedish National Bank call them the greater national coat of arms and the lesser national coat of arms. Note also the usage of lower case, which is consistent with modern Swedish writing rules). I have therefore changed the text accordingly. Thomas Blomberg 22:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Personal Command Flag
Would it be right to call the Personal Command Flag, the banner of arms of Sweden? 202.89.153.228 07:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes of course, it is obviously a banner of arms of Sweden. It should however not be used in any other way than as a command flag for His Majesty the King. E.G. 16:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coat of arms image
According to Camptown the law describes a "general fashion" of the coat of arms that can be depicted in different ways. By this he considers it allowable to add insignia orders below the coat of arms, eventhough these are not mentioned in the official law (which says only "Huvudskölden är krönt med en kunglig krona och omges av Serafimer ordens insignier.").
He has given no sources for his claim.
I don't understand why he doesn't want to replace it with Image:Sweden greater coa1908-modern.png. It is not only accurate according to the law, it also looks better.

- Nonsense. Not even a blind man would agree that Fred J:s png-image (named 1908modern) "looks better". Bondkaka 01:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for informing me about the preferences of blind men. You make your claim this eventhough the jpg image has incorrect colors on the lions claws, tongue and teeth (they should be red), the three crowns look more brown than golden, and the eagle and stars of the Bernadotte coat of arms are hardly distinguishable (they should be golden). There is actually a law about how the coat of arms should look: Lag (1982:268) om Sveriges riksvapen.
- I am okay with people having different taste. But adhering to the blazon must come first.

- Add: It has come to my attention that the mantling must be Ermine which I had missed. I will have to correct that. / Fred-J 16:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sigh... User:Fred J version may possibly be correct enough, but why only include parts of the Order of Charles XIII? --Camptown 12:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
