The blazon stipulates the shield is yellow or gold, but the flag photos show it
to be red. My e-mail to the municipality regarding this issue has remained
unanswered until now.
As you notice, arms drawings (including those on
the municipal website at
http://eibiswald.istsuper.com/Gemeindewappen.3527.0.html) clearly show a
yellow shield, and a different arrangement of the mount(s), i.e. a triple mount.
I would be surprised if all arms and flag images would be in good accordance
with the official blazons.

Another version of the flag, this time obviously green-white (not
white-green), with a simpler version of the shield.
