Re: Arms of Danish Noble Families
I wonder what the charge is in the Levetzow arms?

According to this webpage, it represents a swinging gate.
According to this page, however, it might be a rake or a railing or even a portcullis.

Hmm. The "swinging gate" tale may indeed be true, though a gate such as this would be both inconvenient for daily use and hard to secure against intrusion (as the tale demonstrates). Neither railing nor portcullis seems likely. The former would hardly have stood on a pedestal and the latter would be upside down and not need a pedestal.
An equally valid theory (though unlikely for several reasons) might be that the charge was intended to represent a menorah.

Re: Arms of Danish Noble Families
Rather than a menorah why not simply a candle stick with multiple holders?
