Walsall uses a coat of arms based on a 15th Century seal. As these feature the Royal Arms, they have never been officially approved. The shield itself shows the Royal Arms as used until 1603. The crest shows the bear and staff associated with the Earls of warwick and thus [[Warwickshire]]. | Walsall uses a coat of arms based on a 15th Century seal.
