The arms were officially granted on July 28, 1819 and completely new arms were granted on April 20, 1857.

If this text appears, it means that background information is available, but that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just [|mail me with the name of the town in the subject !] and I will add all information that I have !
