The
following article is a direct translation from the classic
genealogical and heraldic reference "Herharz Polski" by
Kasper Niesiecki SJ. Lipsk edition 1839-46. Translated by William F
Hoffman.
These arms are described in MS. on Prussian
families: the arms feature a white crest and an azure field; through
the middle of two red stripes separated from each other a golden
arrow points upwards, while the helm and crown have three ostrich
feathers, two azure, the third one white: but some of this house
include only one red stripe in their arms, while others show the
arrow pointing downward.
