The Royal Distinctive

The Royal distinctly is a combination of three of the regalia, namely the Rijksappel, the Rijkssword and the Scepter. It gives with the Reichstsword the security and defense of our territory and the free world (the Rijksappel) again; the Scepter points to the dignity of the King. The Crown has been expressly disregarded in this regard, since its use impair the exclusivity of the Royal distinctly, as many rank and function characters have a combination with the Crown.
