This is the coat of arms of Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast that was painted in the Freiherren diploma that was issued in 1790 (source: «Freiherren-Diploma Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast 1790, Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, königlich-bayerisches Heroldsamt, Bd. 20-1 nr. 26»). This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me because the family needed a modern version that can be used digitally. More information about the family can be found on the website juchtervanbergenquast.wordpress.com.

G0143, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the crest of Daniel John Bugeja, Malta. Hand-drawn delineation by me, showing the granted crest. It should be borne in mind that in heraldry there is no fixed or inherent symbolic meaning attached to charges; any symbolic value, where it exists, derives from the intention of the original bearer or the creator of the arms. Nevertheless, heraldic tradition has preserved historical explanations for the origin of certain charges. In this respect, [Wade, W. C.; 1898; pages 115-116] notes that the lady’s sleeve, of very ancient form, entered heraldry through the custom of knights attending tournaments wearing their ladies’ sleeves as «gages d’amour», and that, in adopting this charge, the knight could symbolically declare: «por el honor de mi dama».
