 About That Coat of Arms
Often we speak of a "crest" when we mean an "achievement." The coat of arms itself is the "shield" or "escutcheon." It represents an ancient piece of defensive armor on the face of which, known as the field, are emblazoned the charges or bearings in definite fixed colors.
Arms are not a necessity; consequently, since no one is compelled to use them there is not one single solitary position in life which demands the personal use of a coat of arms.
In using coats of arms, we should abide by the laws governing its use in the country in which the arms were granted.
