The arms of the Canton and city of [[Luzern]] are similar and are both derived from the banner of the city. For some reason, the colours were changed; the white being on the left of the banner and on the right on the arms. The oldest known use of the arms is on the seal of the city from 1386, where there is a small shield with the arms in the base of the seal. | The arms of the Canton and city of [[Luzern]] are similar and are both derived from the banner of the city.
