Armorial Bearings play an important part in the records of an individual. Because heraldry represents a particular person, it becomes a mirror of his personality and history. Therefore, it is only fitting to register arms in order to make your design easily accessible and thus prevent anyone from using your design in bad faith. |

Historically, a roll of arms (or armorial) was a collection of painted pictures of the shields (escutcheons, also known as "coats of arms") representing visually the blazons (formal descriptions of the arms) of persons who had been given a grant of arms. This Roll of Arms has been created in that spirit, as a venue for displaying the armorial achievements of individuals and organizations that have either been granted or have assumed arms as a form of personal identification in keeping with the traditions of heraldry. |
