Coat of Arms

I know it can be seen in Oland's mais article. But shouldn't this one, about Oland's Heraldry, displaying other four coats of arms, display Oland's one? --189.24.252.196 (talk) 22:04, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

History

the confused CoA

According to [1] the original 1560 CoA was similar to that used today (the sv.wiki page mentions that there is a text from 1562 with this blazon). At some point between 1569 and 1880 the two roe deer confusion started. /Lokal_Profil 15:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure where the 1884 date comes from, apart from this being the year when the encyclopaedia with the image to the right was released. /Lokal_Profil 15:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[2] this book from 1905 contains three separate blazons for each province. These are from pre1863, 1597 and 1583-1595. /94.193.242.248 (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Note that that source already points out that there seems to be some confusion with regards to the blazon. /94.193.242.248 (talk) 17:47, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Image series and a verbatim blazon from 1885 (p.54 from the above mentioned book).

"På grund af Kongl. Maj:ts nådiga bref af den 18 januari 1884 och den 20 februari 1885 skola landskapsvapnen hafva följande utseende.

[...]
5. Öland.

I blått fält tvänne öfver hvarandra gående rådjur, guld, samt nio fembladiga rosor, silfver, i tre rader."
