About the flag
The flag of N�rke is a banner of arms, just like all other Swedish provincial flags. The arrows are of a type called "sk�kta", with triangular points (a difference to note when comparing these to the arrows in the arms and flag of Dalecarlia). The roses are probably just added to fill out the field.Elias Granqvist, 28 December 2002
