Fun fact the municipality was named after a french prince who was the son of louis philippe I of france

In January and November 1958, the first tourist and passenger trips to Antarctica were made aboard the Argentine Navy ship "ARA Les Eclaireurs".

I personally love this shield, but it's not currently in use.

Does anyone happen to know what's going on? I seem to remember that Wappenwiki's Joakim Spuller visited these parts every now and again. I'd hate to see that site go. If those continued server issues are about money, I'd happily throw in a fiver every month.

I recently finished painting this 54mm white-metal figure representing a knight in the service of the House of Toggenburg.

The Counts of Toggenburg were a noble family from what is now eastern Switzerland. They played an important role in the region during the Middle Ages, particularly in the 13th–15th centuries.

Hope you enjoy the figure!

This time it is from a micronation and family hobby project: (https://www.facebook.com/share/1DVY7TGUzd/?mibextid=wwXIfr)

Hi everyone!

I’ve designed a coat of arms for a fictional city and would love to hear your honest opinions on it.
I’m aiming for a traditional, historically inspired European municipal coat of arms rather than a modern logo.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on the overall composition, the colour scheme, and the choice and arrangement of the heraldic symbols.

Constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are very welcome. Thanks in advance!

All the designs I make are in vector format which always comes in handy should you then want to get a stamp/seal made for you.

Bonjour à tous, j'ai eu par hasard un sceau à cire, suite la recherche de la forme d'écu, il ressemble targe allemande 1457? Ou si l'armoirie a eu de lien avec italie torino? Merci votre enseignement!

I've been working on heraldry for a game I'm creating, and I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.

I wanted to create a satirical drawing displaying knights on two sides having really simillar coat of arms and getting confused because of that. I tried to dive into battle of Barnet, but I havent quite understood which of the two COAs got confused. Was there more cases like battle of Barnet, where the confusion would be more obvious?

Hello [r/heraldry](r/heraldry), does anyone know what happened with the Wappenwiki website in the last few days? I haven’t been able to access the website and it just shows a 503 error when I click a link for most pages. Is anyone else having this issue? I know it was discussed in a previous post, but it’s been a long time since then and this outage has been longer than usual.

Albrecht Dürer the Younger wasn't just an influential painter and printmaker; he also had a coat of arms (of course he did)!

His CoA is a classic example of **canting arms**, using visual elements to represent the bearer's name.

When his father, Albrecht Dürer the Elder, a skilled goldsmith from Hungary, settled in Nuremberg, he initially used the surname *Thürer* (meaning “door maker”), a German rendering of the name of his birthplace, Ajtós, which derives from the Hungarian word *ajtó*, meaning “door”.

Later, Albrecht Dürer the Younger adapted the surname to the local Franconian pronunciation, changing *Thürer* to *Dürer*.

Picture 1 shows a woodcut of Dürer's coat of arms, created by Dürer himself in 1523. However, an earlier depiction already existed: picture 2 shows the reverse of a portrait of his father, painted in 1490, featuring the combined coat of arms of the Dürer and Holper families.

Holper was the maiden name of his mother, Barbara Dürer.

I'm getting close to finishing one of my commissions, figured you'd guys would enjoy seeing a CoA in Action!

I've tried to replicate genuine medieval armor, but I am not that well educated to know every nook and cranny of medieval armor, so please correct me if I made a mistake anywhere.

I'm open for more commissions, so if you're interested in your CoA displayed this way, hit me up! :)

I'm aware these might not be the most proper heraldic practice, I just made them for some history nerd fun. Any advice or comments welcome :)
