Dimensions:
Crest A demi-lion holding over its sinister shoulder a battleaxe bendwise

Possibilities for Identification:

None of Fairbairn’s crests depict this configuration. Plates 15/4 and 15/5 display demi-lions holding the battleaxe with both paws, while in 16/8 and 16/10 the lions are issuing out of a mural coronet. In plate 16/12 and 16/14 the lions are affronty. The closest is 15/6 in which the battleaxe is held with the right paw.

Dimensions:
Crest A dexter arm vested embowed holding an axe in bend

Possibilities for Identification:

There are 54 crests in Fairbairn's Crests that describe an arm embowed holding a battleaxe. However, 44 of them represent an arm in armour and may be discounted. Of the remaining 10 only 4 are without armour and are simply vested, and one of these match our stamp. They are: Browning; Cooper; Mactier; and Norton.
