Swedish Military Heraldry a glimpse.

Any particular reason for the Hussars' round shield?

My guess it that since both the Life Guards and the Life Regiment Hussars are older units and have different shaped shields, that they were adopted from an older flag or something like that.

I have had some more thougths on the matter and perhaps it could be that the round shield alludes to the roundshaped Arms carried within a Star on the older Uniform Cap. But this is only a guess.
