Gules a Cross bottony Argent in chief between two Swords in saltire of the same hilted and pommed Or.
Željko Heimer, 11 December 2000
[Canting emblem with the St. Ursus cross – white cross bottony on red – and the swords
of martyrdom. The second sword could be attributed to Victor, who was beheaded together with Ursus in
Solothurn around 303 AD.
For the meaning of St. Ursus and St. Victor in Swiss heraldry and vexillology see
