BLAZONING OF THE KUNZ COAT OF ARMS
BLAZON (Wappen der Familie Kunz):
ARMS (Shield):
German Heraldic: In Blau drei grun Eicheln (2,1) mit goldenen Frucht
English Herladic: Azure, three acorns or, the hulls, stems and leaves vert, stems to chief (2,1)
CREST (Helmet):
Non
MANTLE (Decken):
Not deScribed (Mantling is seldom deScribed and usually takes the Tinctures of the Shield)
MOTTO:
None recorded (It is rare for the German Achievement to deScribe a Mottto)
REFERENCE SOURCE:
Armorial General by J.B. Rietstap and: Zofinger Wappenbuch Chur
ARMS (Shield) INTERPRETATION:
Azure - (Means the Shield is Blue (Azure=Blue))
three acorns or - (Means 3 Golden (Or=Gold) Acorns are placed upon the
Shield )
the hulls, stems and leaves vert - (Means the Hulls, Leaves & Stems
of the Acorns are separate & distinct items from the Acorns themselves and are all Green (Vert=Green))
stems to chief (2,1) - (Means the Stems of the 3 Golden Acorns point upwards (Chief=top third
of Shield), and (2,1) just means in the usual arrangement of 2 side by side above the 3rd (2 & 1) - gives the orientation of the acorns )
Note: German heraldry breaks the "Tincture rule" most often, as it does here by "placing colour upon colour" - the
Green leaves on the Blue Shield (low or no contrast) - but it must be drawn exactly as deScribed by the Heraldic Scribe.
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
Non - (Means no known Crest was deScribed to be affixed by the Torse (wreath of cloth with 6 twists,
alternating between the primary tinctures) together with the Mantling, to the Helmet, which is drawn in Profile with no Visor nor
Grilles or with the Visor closed - the kind used by a "Bürgerliche" (Esquire/Commoner/Citizen))
SYMBOLISM:
Acorn - (Antiquity and strength)
Oak (Leaves) - (Great age and strength)
Colors:
Azure (Blue) - (Loyalty and truth)
Or (Gold) - (Generosity)
Vert (Green) - (Hope, joy and sometimes loyalty in love)
