this section is under construction !
This page is the starting point to look for a coat of arms with a particular charge or shield division or to identify unknown arms. As not all arms on the site are categorised, I can not guarantee that an image can be found. If you can not find the image, you can also send a mail to see if I can help.
Be aware: there are NO personal arms listed here !
Steps for identification: - Do not initially consider supporters, crests, mottoes and similar, as these are not always listed - Do not consider the colours at this moment
The arms are just divided and do not have some items (figures, plants, etc) ?
- File:Perpale.gif Just divided equally (horizontally, vertically etc), start searching in the category Division of the shield
- Divided by a horizontal, vertical or diagonal bar : see the category Division lines and pales
- The arms only show a cross : see the category Crosses
- File:Escutcheon.gif The arms simply show a small square, diamond, circle or similar geometrical figure : see the category Ordinaries
- File:Chief.gif The arms show only the top or bottom in a different colour, or show a border : see the category Ordinaries
- The arms show only a single colour or 'fur' : see the category Colours and furs
The arms show some item (charge), such as a flower, plant, animal building etc. Only consider the main (=largest) charge, or consider the carge in the upper right (=upper left for the viewer) part of the arms when all fields and charges are equal
- The arms show a heraldic animal or creature:
- The main charge is a lion : see the category Lions
- The main charge is an eagle: see the category Eagles
- File:Dragon Segreant.gif The main charge is a mytholocial creature (unicorn, dragon, mermaid): see the category Mythological creatures
- The arms show a natural animal or creature (or a part thereof):
