Horw

Or, a Carp Gules in bend.

Zeljko Heimer, 26 June 2000

Blazon by Mühlemann (1991): In Gold ein schraegrechts gestellter roter Karpfen.

António Martins, 19 June 2000

Translated: Or an oblique statant gules carp, by Jarig Bakker, 19 June 2000.

Though unfortunately this must be the design in use in local flags, this carp is an ichthyological aberration: all details are wrong! Mühlemann (1991) shows a much better depiction.
