CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
Out of a Ducal Coronet Or - (Means that something (to be deScribed later)
will come out from a Golden (Or=Gold) Ducal Coronet (often called a "Crest Coronet"), which is
a "Crown-like" device that has no significance other than to be used only for Heraldic decoration of
the Helmet or to signify Government Service - it's always drawn with only 3 of its 4 strawberry leaves
visible & has no jewels)
a Demi Eagle Displayed per Pale - (Means a half (Demi) Eagle is coming out
of the Coronet & has its wings outstretched (Displayed) & is divided in half vertically (Per Pale))
the Dexter Azure and the Sinister Or - (Means the half of the Eagle to the
viewers left (Dexter) is to be colored Blue (Azure) & the other half (Sinister) is to be colored
Golden (Or) this is all to be affixed to the Helm (Helmet), which is drawn in profile with the Visor
closed, or with no Visor nor Grilles - the kind used by a "Bürgerliche" (Esquire/Commoner/Citizen)
SYMBOLISM:
Crown (Coronet) - (Authority)
Note: Because it isn't specifically deScribed in writing, it's unknown whether the Crest Coronet is just an
heraldic adornment (a common practice) or signifies Government Service (also a common practice).
Eagle displayed - (Protection)
Fish - (A true, generous mind; virtuous for himself, not because of his heritage)
Colors:
Azure (Blue) - (Loyalty and truth)
Or (Gold) - (Generosity)
