I feel like it should be larger on the flag and the flag needs more background?

@YoMomma I agree though, it looks a bit small

Its a bear trying to split an Atom hmmm if memory serves me correct its a coat of arms for nuclear weapons production

@AngelUnforgiven I just read that, and that the symbol belonged to the now closed city of Zheleznogorsk.

If it's closed, maybe it is up for grabs

This was once a family coat of arms...

@DeWayfarer Pretty. I wonder what it all means, some sort of royalty I'd have to guess

@caPnAhab my father's family was more of a clan than royalty. Every major clan had a coat of arms of some type in the middle ages.

My great grandfather was the last head of the clan. He said you do this, and you did it.

How my father was born in the USA and came back. Heck even why my father was trained as a baker. A baker was needed in the clan. And great Grandpa said you're a baker. Grandfather was a barber the same way.

Just to back up my statement...

Yes, heraldry was also significant in the regions that now comprise the Czech Republic and Slovakia, particularly during the medieval period. Various noble families and clans in Czechoslovakia (historically part of the Kingdom of Bohemia and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire) had their own coats of arms. These coats of arms often reflected the family's history, achievements, and territorial claims.

The use of heraldry in this region included not only noble families but also towns and cities, which often had their own coats of arms that symbolized their identity and rights. The designs typically featured various symbols, colors, and animals, each with specific meanings.

After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the country adopted its own national coat of arms, which incorporated elements representing the Czech lands and Slovakia. The use of heraldry continues to be of interest in historical studies and cultural heritage in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia today.

My father was born in 1920.
