Gundam Decal questions

I have been pondering on this for a while. For those who are familiarized with the MG Gundam Decal series no.16 for EFSF General, I wanted to know which certain insignia meant. Here's a picture for a more clear view.

I know of the 4th MS Squad, Torrington Base, Amuro's personal symbol and White Base. But do anyone knows what the horse and the eagle insignia stands for? It's the first and the third symbols from the upper left. Oh, and what of the "arrow piercing through the heart" symbol meant as well?

Well, the only one I know is the Gold horse on the left is the symbol of the Thoroughbred. Those same golden horse medallions came with my Gundam G05.

I assume Thoroughbred is a name of a ship right? Never knew it was from a game.

The Thoroughbred was the green Pegasus 3 class refit, can't recall from what UC series though.

And... the arrow in the heart reminds me of the one printed on the Zakrello, though it has two hearts. I'm curious too now. :shock:

They decided against that because most Gundam fans already have something up their butt.

Hmm let me take a crack at this...

I believe the heart with the Arrow is from the Gundam Pixie.

The one with the IV and Chamelon is the Immortal 4th team we all know that. I don't recognize the others...

Immortal 4th Team? That used to be Burning, Monsha and the others featured in Stardust Memory right?

Now I'm more curious what that eagle insignia stands for. Anyone?

Yeah I checked the hearts, I kinda guess it was from the Pixie. But what of that eagle insignia? I am curious about that.

The decal that looks like an eagle with two halves of a circle around it(I think it's actually supposed to be an S) is labeled as Sleggar Law's personal marking on the insert that comes with that Decal sheet.

It is indeed in Japanese. I had to break out my own personal set to check it out.

Never knew Sleggar's that well known until his personal insignia is included in a decal set. Maybe it's just out of pity's sake to pay tribute to a tragic war hero :roll:

I googled Sleggar Law and found out that he pilots a custom GM. Apart from text, there's no pictures whatsoever on this elusive GM nor were there any pictures of his insignia. Just asking, is there any other source I can turn too as I am very curious.

EDIT: After much googling, just so happen I found some pictures on Sleggar's GM. It looks authentic enough. Can anyone confirm this?

I have seen the Sleggar Custom in that blue-and-white livery before, but never that configuration. I do know that he never piloted a GM - custom or otherwise - in any animation, so there's really no canon/official design to break here.
