A Request for Assistance

Postby davidappleton » 24 Mar 2013, 23:12

A reader of my blog on heraldry has asked for my assistance in identifying a coat of arms. After going through my armorials and ordinaries (well, in the time that I had to do that this weekend), I was unable to make any identification. I asked his permission, and having received it, am now out here in the hopes that more eyes looking at it will help us to find out whose arms these are. A picture of the arms, and a little more background on them and the search I've made, can be found on-line at: http://blog.appletonstudios.com/2013/03/a-request-for-assistance.html

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.

Success!

A correspondent has been able to identify the arms that I had asked for help with. Several people had found similar arms, but someone was able to find a matching coat. The identification, with a couple of emblazons as well as all of the sources, has been posted on my blog at http://blog.appletonstudios.com/2013...t-of-arms.html

Thank you all for your assistance! I've been able to successfully report back to my original inquiry.

Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.

This probably works much better. :D

Indeed it does! I don't know what's wrong with the link I posted; it should have taken you to the correct page. (Then again, as far as I know, the intertubes work by magic!)

By the way, here's the man himself, painted by Titian, hanging in the National Gallery of Art, Washington:

Always nice to be able to put a face with the coat of arms.
