The arms are identical to those at
http://www.oelstykke.dk/ (direct link
here. No hits for
"flag", "vaeben" or "väben" in the web site search engine, so apparently no
official large image of the arms.
On to the International Civic Arms site: at
http://www.ngw.nl/int/den/o/olstykke.htm is a large image of the arms, not
very different from those on the ferreted photo, attributed to
Achen (1982) -- which certainly includes a much
better blazon than azure nine arrowheads argent four three and two on a chef of
the same a herring (?) gules crowned or. (Hmm, would this be the famous red
herring? ;-)
Ølstykke is a commune within Frederiksborg district (? -- Amt), in southeastern
Denmark.
The photo shows a very dark shade of blue and very thin black lines separating
the white chief from the white background. The shield seems to be shifted to the
hoist and there is a very light blue stripe along the fly.
