The flag is a banner of the arms;
arms dating from 1376, formally granted on 19 January 1934.

The man in the Stockholm arms should be St. Erik (patron saint of Sweden) but
when the city wanted to standardize the arms in the 1930's, the artist used a statue
in an old church as a model, a statue that later on has been identified as St. Olof
(patron saint of Norway - though very appreciated in Sweden too in the catholic
era).

Flag of Stockholm is already reported, but this is probalby old design. (Am I
right?)
