18<sup>th</sup> century seals showed the same composition, but with three crescents in the base. The origin of these moons is not known. It has been speculated that they are basically derived from some decorations in the base of the shield on older seals, and were misinterpreted as moons. It has also been mentioned that they are misinterpreted tools used in the steel industry. But in the 18<sup>th</sup> century there was no such industry in the town. | 18<sup>th</sup> century seals showed the same composition, but with three crescents in the base.

Again later seals only showed the historical arms. On April 16, 1910 the arms were granted with the crescents, as shown by Hupp (below), but in 1938 the city returned to the oldest arms. | Again later seals only showed the historical arms.
