G0057, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of Salvatore Buttaro's arms, whose full achievement has been emblazoned by me. The image shows a composition of the coat of arms painted by me alongside the same coat of arms as published in the book [Gauci, C. A.; 2025; 68], «The Register of Arms, Volume 1 (2019–2024)». A difference may be observed between the published interpretation of the arms and the current interpretation. In the current version, the sword is positioned more centrally, closer to the vertical axis of the shield, whereas in the published version the sword is placed nearer to the sinister flank, allowing it to be depicted slightly longer. The published arms corresponds to an earlier version painted by me, while the version with the more centrally placed sword corresponds to a second version, also painted by me, following a suggestion from the armiger. In any case, the wording of the blazon remains unchanged, and therefore both representations depict the same coat of arms.
