The 1957 arms.
My maternal grandparents met for the first time on the dock at Georgetown in 1913. Grandfather was an inspector in the Federated Malay States Police and his bride-to-be had come from England to marry him without ever having met him. My mother was born the following year in Taiping, Perak. I can find only one tiny image of Taiping's arms:

Nice family story Chris Green. As for the Arms of Taiping I can make of that the Shield contains a Sun and a Crescent. But do you know what the charge under the Crescent is supposed to be? A Ship perhaps.
