Description
I made this as originally designed with a white field and red arm saber and nine drops of blood arranged as close to the original reference image I had. It was said that Dimmit and the Texians would rather cut off their arm than live under the tyranny of Mexico at the time of the Texas revolution.
Print with standard settings using White and color change to Red at the appropriate layer level to allow the symbol to print as shown.

The dramatic Bloody Arm flag, which was designed by Captain Philip Dimmit, the same man who designed the 1824 flag two months earlier, was raised at the Presidio La Bahia in Goliad on December 20, 1835, in honor of the signing Goliad Declaration of Independence. This declaration, which stated that Texas was a "free, sovereign, and independent State," was signed two months before the General Convention officially declared independence at Washington-on-the-Brazos. The flag was permanently lowered on January 10, 1836, and was not present for either of the battles at Goliad.
The Bloody Arm flag represented a dramatic shift towards complete independence from Mexico, a position that was made permanent on March 2, 1836 when the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed. Along with the Dodson flag, the Bloody Arm flag flew over Independence Hall when the Declaration was signed.
