When elements from two or more different arms are combined to form a single coat of arms you have a "composed" coat of arms.
As a US citizen, you have three options: (1) is to simply assume arms...

A couple of quick points on Irish heraldry:
1) The office of Ulster King of Arms was, from it's inception, always independent of the English College of Arms in exactly the same way that Lyon has...

No, provided you did not take up residence in Scotland, or enter into a trade where you displayed your arms. If you live in Scotland then you must register your arms with the Lord Lyon. If you are a...

If you send a copy of the photo to the Army Museum in London, along with the soldier's name, they should be able to assist you. To me it appears to be a photo dating from the period after the Crimean...

Steve, I have to give you 10 out of 10 for your exceptionally well done "budget black tie outfit". It just proves that a guy doesn't have to be made of money to look smart and dress well.

I have two black Argyle jackets, one with satin lapels and the other with barathea lapels. The "all barathea" is for those times when I would normally wear a very dark blue or black suit, and the one...

Actually, and most people get this completely wrong, the primary function of any office of arms is the registration of those arms commonly used within its jurisdiction. As part of this function an...

Actually I did consider crested silver buttons, but decided that in this instance I wanted something fairly understated, and the choice came down to silk knotted buttons, silk covered buttons, or...

I actually think that looks quite nice. I especially like the use of the grey, instead of white, stripe.

I have a new Argyll jacket in the making. The body of the jacket is black corduroy and the lapels and cuffs are black silk fialle. I haven't decided on the buttons, but will probably go with faceted...

What Harold didn't tell you is that unlike toupees, these feathers really are indistinguishable from the real thing.

Turkey feathers look like -- well -- turkey feathers. There are a number of companies that "customize" turkey feathers to look like eagle feathers, and this is probably the best route to follow....

You are right insofar as Arms may only be granted to an individual, for example the chief of a clan. Arms may also be granted to "companies", that is assemblies of persons brought together for a...

I chatted with Jamie Sempill, David Rose and Margaret Elliott and caught a glimpse of Hugh Montgmerie. I didn't catch sight of Andrew Dunrossil, and I don't recall seeing his flag at the SSA tent...

The man with the two tall feathers is indeed Mr. Mel Sinclair; his chief, the Earl of Caithness, has accorded him the privilege of wearing two feathers to indicate Mr. Sinclair's status within the...

Any cross with two beams is a patriarchal cross. The conventions of heraldry suggest to the herald that a diminished charge is always the lesser, and not the equal, in size. If one wanted to blazon a...
