I believe from the language you use of the white swords being in the
red is incorrect. (I belive.)  They are in saltire, just like the
field division, so they are criss-crossed across the Shield, business
ends towards the earth.  Which seems ODD to me since that puts those
Silver swords partially on a Golden background... so I very well could
be showing I'm a novice at understanding all of this myself.
