Strange, This is the Russian Coat of Arms. Russia was not Holy, Not Roman, and not an Empire. Then again. Not even Rome was Holy. It was Roman (DUH) it was an Empire (DUH AGAIN) And, I guess it was holy, I don't want to piss anyone off religiously.
While it is true that the Russian Empire also used a dual-headed eagle like this, that's not the eagle this is meant to be. The origins of the eagles are the same though; both the Holy Roman Empire and the Russian Empire used them to show their descent from the true Roman Empire. If memory serves, the Czars "inherited" theirs through marriage with a Byzantine princess.
I'm just saying. The Holy Roman Empire Lasted about 842 Years. The Russian Empire. 862 A.D. To Present. So, much longer. Plus the Two-Headed-Eagle is still a national animal of Russia today.
If you count the Kievan Rus' as the start of the later Russian Empire, and the modern day Russian Republic as a direct continuation of that, then you'd also have to count East Francia (843 A.D.) as the start of the later Holy Roman Empire, and Germany and/or Austria as a direct continuation of that. Roughly the same age in other words.
Anyway, the major difference between the eagle of the HRE and the eagle of Russia is that the HRE one is black while the Russian one is golden. Same source, different adaptation lol
And yes, it's true that Russia still uses the old eagle in a more or less unchanged form. Certainly better than what the Germans and Austrians did with theirs. XD
That whiteness around the eagle kind of bothers me. I took the liberty of fixing it up for you. [link]
Thank you for the offer, but alas there's no space for any decorative flags or anything around here. I'd love to see a picture of the final result though.

Updated the Design, and took the link to your eagle back in place!
No Problem, will send you pictures
Something against the use of it for Flagmaking??
It was made for flagmaking, so if you want to use it for that kind of stuff, go ahead!
