Wanted !
The site is my private site, which is maintained by one person only. It is my hobby to collect everything possible with arms of towns, municipalities, villages etc.
I mainly focus on paper-based items, due to space and shipping costs, but I do collect basically everything with civic arms ! This includes stamps, books, ties, cups, plates, souvenirs, anything actually, as long as the arms are visible.
See the Heraldic collector's items catalogue for all collections !
I do not restrict myself to any country, but, obviously, I have most things from Holland as I am based there.
All items will be part of the foundation Heraldry of the World and (hopefully) will become part of a future heraldic museum of exhibition(s).
Some examples and recent donations:
I also would like to have pictures (photographs) of the use of the arms in the town or municipality, such as on street signs, on plaques, on the city hall etc. I will add these to my site and I will contribute the picture to the sender. Similarly I would like to get official municipal letterheads and stationery with heraldry.
If you have anything to offer or to donate, or when it can be send electronically, I will welcome it !
