Azure, upon a sea in base an anchor palewise Or entwined by a dolphin Argent; chapé ployé Gules, two fleurs de lis Or.

Escudo de azur, sobre un mar moviente de la punta, un ancla puesta en palo de oro entrelazada de un delfín de plata; cortinado curvilíneo de gules, dos flores de lis de oro.

Coat of arms depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a freehand finish.

G0087, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of Germano Catanzaro arms, whose coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The English «chapé» is «cortinado» in Castilian, and the English «chapé ployé» is «cortinado curvilíneo» in Castilian; both English terms are of French origin. «Chapé» and «chapé ployé» must issue from the upper edge of the chief. If the division issues from the centre of the shield and is curved, in English it is termed «party per chevron ployé» and in Castilian «mantelado en punta curvilíneo».

Azure, upon a sea in base an anchor palewise Or entwined by a dolphin Argent; chapé ployé Gules, two fleurs de lis Or. Crest: Upon a helm befitting his degree issuant from a crown of Noble above the shield, with a wreath Or and Azure, a unicorn Argent, issuant from a crown of Duke. Mantling: Azure doubled Or. Motto: «Sat cito si sat bene».

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a freehand finish.

G0087, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of Germano Catanzaro arms, whose full achievement has been emblazoned by me for such grant. «A sea in base», as I have blazoned it, specified in the original grant as «a wavy base», I have translated into Castilian as «un mar moviente de la punta». It should be noted that the tinctures of this «wavy» are not specified in the blazon. In the original painted representation of these arms, this sea appears Azure upon a field likewise Azure, with the crests of the waves heightened by an Argent highlight in the form of a circumflex accent «^». My interpretation follows the model of that original image, although I have emphasized the whole of the wave pattern slightly more, not merely the crests of the waves, so that it stands out more clearly against the Azure field.
