Themes and identification of unknown arms
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

The arms are just divided and do not have some items (figures, plants, etc) ?

The arms show some item (charge), such as a flower, plant, animal building etc. Only consider the main (=largest) charge, or consider the carge in the upper right (=upper left for the viewer) part of the arms when all fields and charges are equal

  • The arms show a heraldic animal or creature:
  • The arms show a natural animal or creature (or a part thereof):
