message: Isn't it more correct to translate Eidgenossenschaft and Confœderatio as "Confederation" rather than "Confederacy"? The modern nation of Switzerland goes by the same name as the old one described here, and it's called the "Swiss Confederation." -- ℜob ℂ. alias ⒶⓁⒶⓇⓄⒷ 22:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: :File:Early coat of arms of Switzerland.svg --- this is of some interest to the Coat of arms of Switzerland article, if it can be referenced.
So far, this is just copied from http://markodehaeck.free.fr/CH.htm where the claim is made that it is 
:"First known depiction of both Swiss flag and coat of arms from 1748 in the Swiss Chronicle of Johann STUMPF."
(the ... seriousness of this "source" may be gauged by the fact that it uses "slavery unit" for "currency", "idiot monkeys" for "population" and "puke sects" for "religion").
I have been unable to locate a 1748 edition of Stumpf's chronicle. A "confederate coa" is certainly not found in Stumpf's original publication, where the cantonal coas are shown with the imperial one, as was standard throughout the life time of the Swiss Confederacy.

If the origin of this design can be identified, I would be interested in including it in the Coat of arms of Switzerland, but I am afraid so far I have nothing to work with.
