| this section is under construction !
| |
| | |
| This page is the starting point to look for a coat of arms with a particular charge or shield division or to identify unknown arms. As not all arms on the site are categorised, I can not guarantee that an image can be found. If you can not find the image, you can also send a mail to see if I can help.
| |
| | |
| Be aware: there are NO personal arms listed here !
| |
| | |
| Steps for identification:
| |
| - Do not initially consider supporters, crests, mottoes and similar, as these are not always listed
| |
| - Do not consider the colours at this moment
| |
| | |
