Jedna od osnovnih tvrdnji o heraldici kaže da grb čine štit, heraldički likovi u njemu, grbovni nakit i plašt. Rijetko se dodaje da su likovi smješteni u polja te da su i likovi i polja obojeni heraldičkim bojama. Još rjeđe ćete pročitati ili čuti izrijekom navedeno da ne postoje grbovi u kojima likovi nisu obojeni i smješteni u također obojena polja. Drugim riječima, u ovim definicijama polje se najčešće ne spominje kao važan, a kamo li nužan dio grba. Posve je druga situacija kad je riječ o podjelama – tu odjednom polja postaju i te kako bitna i odjednom ih se često spominje. Doista, kad se opisuje (blazonira) složeni grb, tada se bez iznimke spominju prvo, drugo, treće itd. polja, te redom u svakom polju opisuju likovi koji su u njima smješteni. Mada vam se ovo dosad rečeno može učiniti trivijalnim i samorazumljivim, ipak treba razmotriti odnos među pojmovima štita i polja i posljedice našeg neverbaliziranog poimanja tog odnosa. One of the basic claims regarding heraldry states that a coat of arms is composed of a shield, charges in it, charges above it and a mantle. It is rarely added that the charges are situated within fields and that both charges and fields are coloured with heraldic colours. Even less frequent one may found explicit claim that there are no coats of arms with uncoloured charges and that they are set in the uncoloured fields. In other words, in these definitions the field is most frequently unmentioned as an important, even more essential part of the coat of arms. It is quite different when we talk about divisions – here suddenly the fields become quite important and frequently mentioned. Indeed, when describing (blazoning) a composed coat of arms, without exception we have mentioned first, second, third etc. field, and charges set in each. Although what was said may seem trivial and self-explenatory, we should consider the relationship between the concepts of shield and fields and the consequences of our non-verbalized concept of that relationship.

Filatelistička izložba Zmajevci u filateliji upriličena je kao dio predstavljanja zajedničkog izdanja poštanskih maraka Hrvatske pošte d. d. Zagreb i Hrvatske pošte Mostar d. o. o. u povodu 1100 godina Hrvatskog Kraljevstva. Izložba je izvorno postavljena u Zmajskoj dvorani u Kuli nad Kamenitim vratima, sjedištu Družbe „Braća Hrvatskoga Zmaja“ gdje je održana svečanost predstavljanja zajedničkog izdanja maraka 23. svibnja 2025. godine. Ovom prigodom izložba gostuje po prvi puta izvan Zagreba. Izložba prikazuje marke i filatelističke objekte Republike Hrvatske, ali i nekih drugih zemalja, kao i prethodnih poštanskih uprava na prostoru Hrvatske, a koji prikazuju portrete i radove članova Družbe, marke koje su dizajnirali članovi Družbe, te koje se na neki drugi način izravno odnose na djelovanje Družbe „Braća Hrvatskoga Zmaja“ od njezine uspostave 1905. do zabrane 1946. godine te nakon obnove 1990. godine. Družba tako ove godine obilježava ne samo veliki jubilej 1100. obljetnice Hrvatskoga Kraljevstva, enogo i svoje dvije godišnjice – 120 godina osnivanja i 35 godina obnove. Tim trima obljetnicama Družba je ove godine posvetila i svoj tri izdanja dragovoljnih doplatnih maraka (tzv. „pepeljuga“) kojima prikuplja sredstva za obilježavanje obljetnica. The philatelic exhibition Dragons in Philately was organized as part of the presentation of the joint issue of postage stamps of the Croatian Post d. d. Zagreb and the Croatian Post Mostar d. o. o. on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom. The exhibition was originally set up in the Dragon Hall in the Tower above the Stone Gate, the headquarters of the Society of the Brothers of the Croatian Dragon, where the ceremony of presenting the joint issue of stamps was held on May 23, 2025. On this occasion, the exhibition is visiting for the first time outside of Zagreb. The exhibition presents stamps and philatelic objects from the Republic of Croatia, as well as some other countries, as well as previous postal administrations in Croatia, which depict portraits and works of Society members, stamps designed by Society members, and which in some other way directly relate to the activities of the Society of the Brothers of the Croatian Dragon from its establishment in 1905 to its ban in 1946 and after its restoration in 1990. This year, the Society is not only celebrating the great jubilee of the 1100th anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom, but also its two anniversaries – 120 years of its foundation and 35 years of its restoration. The Society has dedicated its three issues of voluntary surcharge stamps (so-called "Cinderellas") to these three anniversaries, with which it is raising funds to mark the anniversaries.

Družba „Braća Hrvatskoga Zmaja“ nakon višegodišnje stanke nastavlja svoj izdavački niz u okviru biblioteke Acta et studia draconica, koja uključuje najfinije znanstvene monografije i zbornike radova vezane za djelovanje Družbe. ... Ne čudi da je jedna od prvih velikih međunarodnih aktivnosti Družbe 1910. godine bila ekshumacija i dostojno pokapanje posmrtnih ostataka na Mirogoju velikog hrvatskog heraldičkog umjetnika svjetskog glasa Milana Sunka, koji je preminuo čak dva desetljeća ranije. Ta aktivnost bila je popraćena u stručnim krugovima Europe, ali i sufinancirana donacijama njegovih kolega i obožavatelja njegovog djela širom svijeta. Usudio bih se reći da je na taj način Sunko preko Laszowskog pa i Bojničića usadio klicu interesa za heraldiku u cijelo naše zmajsko bratstvo, ne samo kao brigu za hrvatsku heraldičku baštinu nego i jednu prekrasnu tradiciju koju Družba i danas živo njeguje i dodjeljuje nove zmajske grbove svojim članovima. With this book, the Society of the Brothers of the Croatian Dragon, after a break of several years, continues its publishing series within the Acta et studia draconica library, which includes the finest scientific monographs and collections of works related to the activities of the Society. ... It is not surprising that one of the first major international activities of the Society in 1910 was the exhumation and dignified burial of the remains of the great Croatian heraldic artist of world renown, Milan Sunko, who had died two decades earlier, at Mirogoj. This activity was supported in professional circles in Europe, but also co-financed by donations from his colleagues and admirers of his work around the world. I would dare to say that in this way, Sunko, through Laszowski and even Bojničić, planted the seed of interest in heraldry in our entire dragon brotherhood, not only as a concern for the Croatian heraldic heritage, but also as a beautiful tradition that the Society still cherishes today and awards new dragon coats of arms to its members.
