Even though the Borculo estate was a possession of many families since, the roundels remained in the arms. When and why the colours have changed is not known. The hooks in the arms are hooks used to haul ships. Their origin is not known. They are known from a seal of the city dating from 1524. The helmet and crest appear in the 17<sup>th</sup> century. The arms were officially granted in 1816. | Even though the Borculo estate was a possession of many families since, the roundels remained in the arms.
