While I could not locate any reference to a county flag of New Castle County, in Delaware, I wish to share these links to large images of the seal(?): www.sctennistournament.org/Images/NCCLogo.jpg and www.nccde.org/defaulthome/home/fileuploads/images/fadeseal2.png (the latter being in an official website, with subdued color shades for use as watermark/background.) A different coloring scheme is suggested at www.nccde.org/commonheaderfooter/banner.jpg, also an official source.
