The sword and shield came from the Vikings theme of Norway.

(Image removed from quote.)


Image above uses:
The Norwegian Flag
German symbol right in the center (black & white colors)
RAF symbol up top (Red white and blue roundel)
A Luftwaffe Officer sword with original swastika (coincidentally it's the same version as the Norwegian swastika)
Outline of Norway

I could replace the swastika with a German Luftwaffe Eagle head which they also used on their swords.
If sword idea isn't possible, I will remove it and replace it with an Luftwaffe eagle to cover the top part.

You RAF pilots are lucky I didn't have the RAF roundel at the bottom being pierced by the sword.   :neener:

very nice patch design Herr Kermit  :aok

but i like the idea of an eagle over the shield rather than a sword

this is also very nice, Kermit....... but if the embroidery company tryed for this, would it not make the patch awfully small if the entire sword is stitched in?


I like both yours and swareiam's,  just curious as to the actual size if the swoard is to be included on yours.......

Here it is without the Luftwaffe Officer Sword.
I've replaced it with the Luftwaffe Eagle.

i like the one with the eagle and the "Norway" banner along the bottom  :aok

do you think you could do a version with the eagle perched on top of the sheild?

Could you do something with the sword one? I really like that idea, but with some tweaking. I'm not at my own PC so only have access to MS paint.

I'm thinking of making the sword smaller so the blade stops where the sheild does, and extending the top around the hilt (which I reduced in size). Maybe make the blade narrower, or fudge the flag's cross thickness so that it's on top of the cross rather than blotting it out entirely.

It's hard to describe, but I was going for one of those "ribbon/tape" style upper borders, and was thinking of having "THE FINAL BATTLE" on that instead of across the flag's cross. You need to have a background behind the sword hilt. Maybe some element of the eagle from the other ideas you had, or maybe something with the German iron cross?

Quick and dirty MS paint:

I'll swift the Norway outline to the right, to allow it to be cut off, instead of appearing like an island.

That does look good.  I feel like it's a bit naked on top though, but that the eagle was just too much.  Perhaps another banner up there with the words "the final battle" moved up there and not obscuring the roundel and cross??  Just an idea.  I like the design.
