The key

One row for every element on the plate. The letter is the one written on the drawing — the heralds' short form of the colour. Touch a row and the plate shows you its element.

How sure the record is

candidate — canonical candidate at Rietstap 1884 vol. 1 p. 492 (Crosnier — Brittany; the original French form of the Cape Cronje)

belief 0.30 · disbelief 0.20 · unsure 0.50 — Rietstap's armorial vol. 1 p. 492 at the Crosnier spelling, which the Huguenot Society of SA register confirms as the original French form of Cronje; specialist verification pending

These arms are drawn, not painted: the record paints a coat only when it holds it as established. The colours in the key are what the painting would use, on whose word the key says.

Where the drawing comes from

Rietstap 1884 Vol.1 p.492 'Crosnier' (SRC-2026-019); candidate
