ARMS (Shield) INTERPRETATION:
Azure - (Means the Shield is Blue (Azure=Blue))
a Stake with two handles in pale or - (Means the Shield has a Golden (Or=Gold) Stake with 2 Golden handles affixed
vertically (in Pale) to it placed upon the blue Shield)
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
Out of a Crest Coronet, between a Vol per fesse - (Means "Something" (to be deScribed later) goes between a pair of upwardly
pointing Wings (Vol) that are divided in half horizontally (Per Fesse) & which "come out" from a Crest Coronet (often called a "Ducal Coronet"),
which is a "Crown-like" device that has no significance except either for Helmet decoration or to signify Government Service - it's always drawn with
only 3 of its 4 Strawberry leaves shown & without jewels.
alternately Or and Azure - (Means the divided Wings of the Vol are alternately colored Gold (Or) & Blue (Azure) starting
with Gold (Or) on the (Viewers) upper left Wing half, then Blue (Azure) on the (Viewers) lower left Wing half, then Gold (Or) on the (Viewers) upper
right Wing half, etc.
the Stake of the Arms - (Means the same Stake as in the Shield (Arms) goes between the Wings of the Vol, & then this Crest
is all affixed to the Helmet, which is drawn in Profile with its Visor Closed, or with no Visor nor Grilles - the kind used by a "Bürgerliche" (Esquire/Commoner/Citizen))
SYMBOLISM:
Crown (Coronet) - (Authority)
Note: Because it isn't specifically deScribed in writing, it's unknown whether the Crest Coronet is just an
heraldic adornment (a common practice) or signifies Government Service (also a common practice).
Vol (Wings) - (Swiftness, protection, celebrity, or coverture)
Colors:
Azure (Blue) - (Loyalty and truth)
Or (Gold) - (Generosity)
