Does anyone know what Jasper Tudor and Oxfords(John deVere) Personal banners looked like ? (and maybe a link to a printable version)

Not their coat of arms, but their long banner that their standard bearer would carry ?

I can see a version of Jasper Tudors on Ebay thats like Henry Tudors but with a green/gold border and different wording, but Ebay isnt a very historical resource :-) Cant find Oxfords anywhere.

Also any one know what Jasper/Henry tudor's banner actual says 'droit etmon' doesnt translate in latin or welsh. 'droit et mon' could mean day and night ?

Pete's Flags on Ebay.uk has 28mm sheets for Jasper Tudor and Oxford. Each sheet has the long rally point standard, a standard for household troops/cavalry/other troops, and a personal standard. Some sheets have multiple flags for the troops.

The motto on Henry Tudor's standard reads "Dieu et Mon Droit" – it's French and (still) the motto of the Royal Family.
The motto on Jasper Tudor's standard reads "Rebus in Arduis Constans" – it's Latin.
The breaks between words don't necessarily correspond with the breaks between lines; it appears the painter of the standard changed lines when he ran out of room – as happens with "Arduis" on Jasper's.
