		The term belongs rather to the romance of heraldry than to its practice, and is imagined by the writers to have been adopted by families who, having lost their possessions, and consequently being unable to maintain their dignity, chose rather to bear their hereditary arms adumbrated than to relinquish them altogether.

		Indeed, it is a striking counter-example to the misconception that heraldry was ever the preserve of the nobility or the knights, that Jews have been using coats of arms as far back as the 14th century, not only privately but also in their official dealings with Gentiles (e.g., seals on legal documents).

	Heraldry
		This discussion is intended to illustrate what was once a practice in English heraldry.
		It is not a common practice to difference arms between family members today, probably because the arms are used more to show relationship rather than distinction as on a medieval tournament field.
		The exception is for Scots, whose heralds employ a complicated system of differencing among brothers of different birth order as well as different generations,, using bordures as well as changing charges and tinctures.

	The Design of American Heraldry: An Interview with Charles V. Mugno: Voice: AIGA Journal of Design: Writing: AIGA
		Charles V. Mugno, director, Heraldic Services and Support Division at the Institute of Heraldry, is largely responsible for conceiving and fabricating the emblems that say “America.” For a nation that was born of rebellion against the entrenched traditions of Europe, the idea of heraldry—as representing an aristocracy—is a bit of a paradox.
		Mugno: Heraldry is based on a small basic set of tinctures: azure (dark blue), gules (red), celeste (light blue), vert (green), sable (fl), sanguine (brown/maroon) and tenne (orange).
		In the area of heraldry, it is on the job training and the self discipline to read and work independently studying existing coats of arms, military history and symbolism.
