Canting arms of Jan Bobor, Slovakia, emblazoned under his directions. With the wording «bearing on its dexter shoulder a sword Argent», one could imagine a version where the figure has the sword simply resting on the shoulder, without grasping the hilt. It is a possibility that could be avoided if the blazon were refined to read: «bearing in its dexter paw, and resting on its dexter shoulder, a sword Argent, hilted Or». That way it would be clearer that the sword is both held and supported, although at the cost of a longer and more complex blazon.

Escudo de gules, un castor erguido de oro, armado y el rabo de plata, teniendo sobre su hombro diestro una espada de plata, guarnecida de oro; en un jefe almenado gibelino de oro tres flores de lis de azur. Lema: «Si vis pacem para bellum» de oro sobre una filacteria de azur doblada de oro.

Canting arms of Jan Bobor, Slovakia, emblazoned under his directions. In heraldry, the word embattled is usually enough, and even more precise terms such as Ghibelline or swallow-tail crenellations already convey a distinctive image. Yet, in this case, what matters most is not the general heraldic convention, but the particular wish of the armiger. For him, the form of the crenellations is essential because it alludes directly to a specific historical castle: Zvolen Castle in central Slovakia, with its alternating swallow-tails and arched voids. To reflect that connection faithfully, the blazon could indeed be refined to read «a chief embattled of Ghibelline crenellations», or even more precisely, «…of alternating swallow-tails and arched voids».

Canting arms of Jan Bobor, Slovakia, emblazoned under his directions. I blazoned the beaver in the crest as «issuant», but it could also have been blazoned as a «demi-beaver». In fact, I consider «demi-beaver» more accurate, and I recommend using it rather than «issuant».
