There are differences in blazon. All entries in Armorial Families 1895 say Escutcheon: Argent on a bend cottised Azure three cinquefoils Or a crescent of the second for difference. Crest: Out of a ducal coronet Or a lion's head Azure. Fox-Davies says these are the arms as used, and as quoted in Burke's "Landed Gentry", but for which no authority has been established.

All entries in Armorial Families 1910 say Escutcheon: Argent on a bend Azure cottised Sable between two crescents of the second a crescent between two cinquefoils Or. Crest: On a wreath of the colours in front of a lion's head erased Azure gorged with a collar gemel Argent a cinquefoil between two crescents fesseways Or. Motto: Nil Sine Deo. This complies with Burke's Landed Gentry 1921 (page 53) [[1]]
