Coat of arms edit

Hello Kolma8,
I am not sure what you mean by "there is no sources confirming the base for the claim" regarding the colorized version of the coat of arms. I used the colours represented by the hatching on the original drawing. --Brookford (talk) 13:31, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dear Brookford,

please see below the coat side by side https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_De_Wolf_family.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COA_DeWolf_Family_(North_America).svg

I think there are some differences between the your rendering and the historical DeWolf's coat of arms. I saw somewhere in the Internet a colored version of the coat of arms with the similar colors. Thank you for your contribution Kolma8 /k8 11:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Kolma8, I understand your confusion now. A coat of arms is not fixed to a particular drawing. It is fixed according to a text called a blazon which describes it. Thus, not every drawing of the same coat of arms has to be exactly the same as long as it respects the blazon. For this particular coat of arms, according to the hatchings which represent the colours, the blazon would be: Or, 3 wolf heads erased sable. I hope this clears things up.--Brookford (talk) 18:28, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
