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.


Simple shield without charges

This group includes any arms that are (of have quarters or other parts) just divided and do not have some items (figures, plants, etc):
