Belgische Gemeentewapens - Armories communales de Belgique Belgian Civic Heraldry MOERE Province : West Vlaanderen Incorporated into : 1976 Gistel Origin/meaning : The arms were granted on March 23, 1935. The arms with a chevron are first mentioned on a map of the area around Brugge (Vrije van Brugge) from the 17th century. The chevron appears in a free-quarter of the arms mentioned for Moere. The rest of the arms showed a black field with a silver chief. These arms were already mentioned in the Gelre roll of arms from the late 14th century. The council applied in 1935 only for the free quarter, not the whole arms of the Lords of Moere. Literature : Servais, 1955
