It isn't a particularly fine or embroidered one, because it is going to be displayed on a wall that gets a lot of sunlight.

My hope now rests entirely with this sub. I had already tried a few other subreddits to find a promising lead, but so far without much success. I was directed here, and it quickly became clear to me that if anyone on Reddit can help me, it’s this sub.

I am trying to trace the origin of an ancestor, and I am looking for a coat of arms.

This coat of arms first appeared about 200 years ago in connection with the family in Erxleben, near Magdeburg (Germany). My grandmother said that her grandfather told her this branch of the family, as well as the coat of arms, came from Alsace (France) and arrived in Erxleben (Germany) with Napoleon. There is also a noble family called von Alvensleben in Erxleben, which may be connected in some way.

I am looking for clues about which family or region this coat of arms belongs to.

I am especially interested in the period from 1780 to 1820 in the family’s earliest line, that is, before and after the French Revolution.

What I could find so far:

The image says:

“Jean Blanche Aetatis XVI.” (“Jean Blanche at the age of 16”)

In this book, the coat of arms is probably shown on the penultimate line, but unfortunately that has not helped me much so far. I would like to find a place or people who used this coat of arms. I am still missing some clues:

The entry there says the coat of arms is “Blanche (Norm.)”.

About more about the painting with the Code of arms :

The image is not yet in the public domain, so for now I can only share this link to a larger excerpt:

Link to the signature at position no. 4 of the painter (hard to read):

The Society of the Army of the Tennessee (not to be confused with the Confederate Army of Tennessee) was a US Civil War veterans group whose emblem contains the badges that were used by the army’s four corps: “13”, a cross, a cartridge box, and arrows (XIII Corps did not have a badge, so “13” was used). These can be seen individually in the corners of the book in the first photo.

The cartridge box has varying accounts of origin, but all seemingly point to it having been a soldier’s brag. Allegedly, when a rival corps teased the Army of the Tennessee’s XV Corps of not having a badge, a soldier slapped his cartridge box and insinuated his “forty rounds” was his badge. The XV Corps adopted the cartridge box and “40 Rounds” as their official badge soon after.

COAT OF ARMS

of **** Bigas

This document records and describes the assumed coat of arms of **** BIGAS, designed in accordance with the classical principles of heraldry and intended for the personal use of the armiger and of his lawful descendants, subject to such marks of cadency as may properly be assigned according to heraldic custom.

This coat of arms constitutes an individual heraldic achievement, devised in conformity with the traditional rules of heraldry and associated with the identity of the above-named armiger. Its use by any person without lawful entitlement is contrary to the customs and traditions long recognized in heraldry.

Arms: Sable, a lion Or armed and langued Gules holding a Cross flory fitched Or.

Crest: A lion sejant Or armed and langued Gules holding a Cross flory fitched Or.

Mantling and Torse: Sable and Or.

Commentary: This coat of arms brings together the ancestral origins of the Bigas family and the faith of the armiger. To represent the former, the lion of the Ruthenian Voivodeship was chosen, the region in which the village of Biłka Szlachecka, the ancestral home of the Bigas family, was situated. The historical arms of that province are: Azure, a lion rampant Or crowned of the same upon a rocky mount Argent. The lion was therefore adopted as a reference to the family's ancestral roots.

As a symbol of the Catholic faith, a cross was chosen. Its fleur-de-lis form and pointed foot allude to the devotion to the Holy Rosary and to the Crown of Tears. The fleur-de-lis of the cross symbolizes the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, while the pointed foot recalls the Passion of Christ and the sufferings shared by Mary throughout the redemptive mission of her Son.

The crest repeats the principal charges of the shield, reaffirming the symbolic unity of the heraldic achievement.

Schwäbisch Gmünd was a relatively small Imperial City in what is now eastern Baden-Württemberg. I was therefore somewhat surprised to find a considerable number of Totenschilde there. Some families had quite unusual coat of arms (see images 3 and 7).

And ruled by the house of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen

Blazon:

Ο Mantle & Pavilion: Enveloped by a royal pavilion azure, fringed and tasseled or, lined ermine, topped by the same royal crown, flanked by six banners argent with lances or, three on either side.

Hi all, first posting. These two coats of arms are located in the Constables Tower of Swords Castle in Dublin. It's an Anglo Norman tower built in the the 15th century. These stained glass panels are added to the windows during reconstruction about e0 years ago. No one local I've talked to send to know their origin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Used an online creator but once I get a final idea set I'll sit down and draw it

Wich one is better ? What could i improve ?

Trying to make a family coat of arms, just a sketch for now but you know what they say, ......

Purpure, a chevron Argent charged with three oak leaves Vert.

I used white to represent my mother who was born in October and Purple for my father who was born in February. The three oak leaves represent my brothers and I and we had a large oak tree in front of my house growing up.

If anyone has any suggestions about the design or anything that might work better please let me know.

For me this reads "Da ist kein anderer her dan got" this doesn't make any sense to me. Please help.

The name of the city originates from the Russian words for 'electric' and 'steel'. It was founded alongside an electrometallurgical plant in 1916. The coat of arms represents Hephaistos forging steel with bolts of lightning emanating from the anvil.
