This seemed like a good idea for some reason. PD photos/paintings/whatever of relevant items, cut out, resized and adjusted to be FLARE-compatible, or whatever other project you want to use them in. There are two versions: one with higher contrast, and a lower-contrast version adjusted by Jetrel.
Note: All of these are from PD source material, except for one! The silver shield in the middle row on the right is from a photo licensed under CC-By. As such, the photographer's name is also in the credits.
Edit: Added a few more that I forgot I had/had rejected and adjusted a bit more.
Edit2: added three more. The two knives worked out pretty well, I think.
