"Blasonering: Sköld: I silverfält ett rött, med gyllene krona krönt griphuvud. Krest: På hjälmen samma bild samt i kronan ett knippe strutsfjädrar av silver.
Denna blasonering är från 1947 i originalblasoneringen (på danska) från 1437 är strutsfjädrarna i hjälmprydnaden omväxlande av silver och röda. Det är även dessa färger som används (trots blasoneringen) i dagens vapen."
which Google translates as:
"BLAZON: Shield: In silver field a red, with golden crown surmounted gripper head. Krest: The helmet is the same image, and the crown of a bunch of ostrich feathers of silver.
This BLAZON is from 1947 in originalblasoneringen (in Danish) from 1437 is the ostrich feathers in the helmet ornament alternating with silver and red. It is also the dyes used (despite blasoneringen) in today's weapon."
