15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
Interesting...
You've got the eagle incorporated into a flag - that's sort of close to the eagle motif *as* a flag or banner. However, the semy of fleur-de-lys and a red and white double 'bordure' is just not the same thing as the the heraldic use of a "label" even though both make reference to French connections.

A Label:

Three variations of a label are shown. Generally only one is used on an insignia. Other styles of representation also exist.

Labels are used on a number of these insignia.

The chief, as it was described, exists in heraldry. Was it also a flag or banner? Still not sure about that.
