Coat of arms that I have organized based on a previous idea from the ANPC, in the following way: the mouth of the shield is rounded and is outlined at double my usual thickness; the whole is enamelled in gules, argent and or, illuminated, outlined in sable and with a watercolor finish; and to separate the letters of the motto a dot «·» is used at mid-height.
[Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 119 and following] dedicates its chapter 7 to «representative heraldry» and, within it, its first section to «professional heraldry», to which this coat of arms belongs according to his classification, and defines it as that which «corresponds to and reflects... all the emblems of the different professions, professional associations, societies where people with the same hobbies or pastimes are grouped». The other 3 categories that, together with «professional heraldry», make up «representative heraldry» are «industrial», «sport» and «tourism».
Personally, I follow my own heraldic classification, which follows to some extent [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975], in which the coats of arms of associations like the ANPC are classified within what I call socioeconomic heraldry.

Norsk Heraldisk Forening, in English, Nordic Heraldry Society, was founded on February 27, 1969, at the National Archives in Oslo, with the aim of promoting the study and knowledge of heraldry through meetings, lectures, excursions, and other dissemination methods, and additionally, to become an advisory body to resolve issues in matters of heraldry, flags, personal coats of arms, etc. Its first president was Dr. Philos Herman L. Løvenskiold.
Since then, these have remained the objectives of the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and its membership count has remained between 150 and 200 members, and it cooperates with the Nordic Heraldry Society, «Societas Heraldica Scandinavica».
The website's address is Heraldikk.no, its content is available in both Norwegian and English, and they work systematically to expand it and provide greater and better information to both its members and those interested in heraldry.
Alex Maxwell Findlater described it in English, including its crest, in an article that was on their previous website under the title «About the society», as follows: «Gules issuant from base two battle-axes addorsed Argent shafted Or overall at the nombril point an escutcheon Or; for Crest between two axes of the arms a panache of three peacock feathers proper; Mantling Gules doubled Or». But given that «shafted» applies to weapons with a shaft and «hafted» to weapons with a handle, in the case of axes, I use «hafted» although both terms correspond to the Spanish «fustado».
Note how the axes are described as battle-axes, just as in the blazon of the Norwegian coat of arms, where its lion holds a battle-axe.
Coat of arms I attempted to interpret in the Norwegian style, all in flat tinctures, without Sable outlines, lighting or shading, and only with a simple rough finish.

RIAG
Argent, a cross patty Gules, cantoned of four mullets of eight points Azure; on a chief Sable, an elephant passant Or.
The Registro Internacional de Armas Gentilicias, is also known as RIAG, and escueladeheraldica.es is its domain.
It is a private register of coat of arms founded in 2006 in Seville, Spain by the herald Ignacio Koblischek Zaragoza.
Since its creation the aim of RIAG has been to promote the use of personal coats of arms, that is, of heraldic arms.
In addition, RIAG offers advice on heraldic design and the composition of armorial bearings and the dissemination of our coats of arms once registered, as it is a private register with public access through the internet.
The accreditation document for registration in RIAG is received by email in PDF format, it is a diptych that can be printed double-sided and which includes the coat of arms, the flag, the seal and the blazon.
My own coat of arms is registered in RIAG and, additionally, I was able to count on the invaluable advice of Mr. Ignacio Koblischek, to whom, once again and from here, I express my gratitude.

Emblem, two two-handed swords in saltire Argent, hilted Or. Crest: A royal crown Or.
Emblema, dos mandobles en sotuer de plata, guarnecidos de oro. Timbrado de una corona real.
Emblem interpretation with: the two-handed swords placed along the diagonals of an imaginary rectangle, with a 5x6 proportion, like a shield, that is, with angles of 50.2°, between the axis of the two-handed swords and the imaginary base of the emblem, unlike the original emblem where the two-handed swords are on the diagonals of a square, therefore with angles of 45°; the two-handed swords and the closed royal crown are outlined in Sable, illuminated and the whole with a raised-stroke execution.
This emblem of the Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain has 2 two-handed swords that, unlike usual swords, due to their great length and weight, their fencing must be two-handed, hence their name.
The Spanish word «mandoble» comes from «mano doble», meaning «double hand», and refers to a sword wielded with both hands, the equivalent of the English «two-handed sword».
It is known that they are two-handed swords because the 2 that appear in the emblem have a crescent or crossguard in their iron. This crescent is called in Castilian «falsaguarda» and also «ganchos de parada» and its functionality is to protect from the slashes that the opponent could give close to the blade of the two-handed sword.

Within socioeconomic heraldry, I classify the arms of all collectives not included in the previous categories, such as, for example, commercial societies, which may represent companies, their brands, and products, sports clubs and federations, associations, professional colleges, educational institutions, arms granted or assumed collectively, etc.
For example, the coats of arms of universities, both private and public, belong to this category, the former naturally and the latter considering their appropriate autonomy from state powers. In this way, the coat of arms of the IESE, as a business school, is an example of socioeconomic heraldry.
Also included are the coats of arms of associations, like the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and of companies, such as the arms of Alea Capital.
This category partially coincides with what [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 119] refers to as «representative heraldry».

Coat of arms interpreted as follows: a semicircular (round) base; the field in flat Azure; the field and charges are illuminated in the tinctures Azure and the metals Argent and Or, all outlined in Sable; my rendition of this coat of arms differs from others in that the sun’s rays, although outlined in Sable, are Or; in the legibility of the text written on the book; and in separating with a dot the words that form the motto; and the whole finished with a beaten-metal effect.

With the aim of aiding in the study and perpetuation of heraldry in the United States and abroad.
Sable, a lion rampant Or, armed and langued Gules, crowned Or, holding in the dexter a baton flory Or.
Escudo de sable, un león rampante de oro, armado y lampasado de gules, coronado de oro, teniendo en su diestra un cetro flordelisado de oro.
I interpret its coat of arms with: a Spanish base in semicircular (round) form; the field illuminated in Sable; the lion, its crown and its baton outlined of the field, shaded and illuminated in Or, except the claws and tongue which are Gules; and the whole with a lightly beaten metal finish.
The baton ends in a fleur-de-lis, hence it is blazoned as «flory» and according to [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 93] «flordelisadas, se dice de las Cruces, cuyos brazos se terminan en flores de Lis».
For a time I distinguished between «flordelisadas» and «florenzadas» crosses depending on the artistic style of the termination, but over time I found that the difference was, precisely, more artistic than heraldic, so I decided to use the term flordelisada in a general way.
Some authors consider them different terms and others equivalent. If they are considered equivalent then florenzadas ~ flordelisadas and, therefore, «cetro florenzado» ~ «cetro flordelisado». In English one says «flory» ~ «flordelisado» and it can also be found written as «fleury» ~ «floretty» ~ «florenté», for example, [The Heraldry Society; 2013; página 6] uses the term «flory» to describe the very arms of The Heraldry Society when it blazons them as «Quarterly Azure and Gules a Lion's Face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a Tressure flory on the outer edge of the same».

The Heraldry Society of Scotland ~ «The Heraldry Society of Scotland», was founded in 1977. Its objectives are to promote the study of heraldry and to encourage its correct use both in Scotland and abroad.
The HSS (acronym for The Heraldry Society of Scotland) encourages those who have a coat of arms and those who intend to adopt their own arms to become members of the society and also encourages to join all those interested in Scottish heraldry, therefore the HSS admits and has members from all over the world.
The HSS holds active and regular meetings throughout the year and organizes conferences and visits to places of historical and heraldic interest, both within Scotland and in other countries.
They also maintain and update a website, whose domain is Heraldry-Scotland.co.uk, with interesting and abundant reading material, among which their list of online armorials with blazons in English stands out, among which the following armorials can be highlighted:
I also find very interesting, for example, their pages on the basic principles of heraldic design, written by Doctor Patrick Barden.

Quarterly Azure and Gules; overall a leopard face, crowned Or, langued Gules, within a tressure flory Or. Motto: «Entalente a parler d'armes».
Escudo cuartelado de azur y gules; brochante sobre el todo, una cabeza de leopardo coronada de oro, lampasada de gules, dentro de un trechor flordelisado de oro. Lema: «Entalente a parler d'armes».
Coat of arms interpreted with: a pointed base; its quarters enamelled in plain Azure and Gules; its tressure flory and the leopard face illuminated in Or and Gules; the motto is illuminated in Gules on an Argent scroll lined Azure; and all outlined in Sable and with a parchment finish.
The tressure, according to [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 242 and 243], «es una especie de Orla estrecha, ó un filete puesto en la misma situación de la Orla», regarding its dimensions in relation to those of the orle it states that «es de la mitad de su anchura, correspondiente á la quarta parte de la latitud de la Bordura, y la vigésimaquarta del Escudo», further clarifying that of these pieces called tressures there are «simples, y dobles, algunas veces floronadas, otras contrafloronadas, y también flordelisadas.», the last of which is the case of the present coat of arms.
Since the tressure is a piece of half the width of the orle it can be considered a diminutive piece, and that is how it is read in many texts; however, the «piezas fundamentales de la heráldica son», according to [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 144], «aspa, banda, barra, bordura, cabrio, campaña, cantón, cruz, escusón, faja, franco cuartel, jefe, jirón, lambel, orla, palo, perla, pila, pira y trechor» and, accordingly, in his synoptic table [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; pages 150-151] includes the tressure within the category of fundamental pieces.
One of the fundamental differences in heraldry between leopards and lions is that the former «tienen siempre la cabeza de frente, mostrando los dos ojos» and the latter «son siempre de perfil, y no descubren sino uno solo», [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 330]. It is for this reason that, as against the English blazon which reads «a Lion face» ~ «una cara de león», in Castilian I write «una cabeza de leopardo».
The motto «Entalente a parler d'armes» bearing in mind that in French «entalente», in the context of battle, means «hábil y valiente», could be translated as «Valientes y con talento para hablar de armas», my shorter and freer translation would be «¡Hablemos de armas!» with exclamation marks to show that the one who says it is eager to do so. Regarding the translation of «entalente» the following article by Auguste Vachon, Outaouais Herald Emeritus, is of interest: Entalenté à parler d'armes. Additionally, it should be noted that today it would be written as «Entalente à parler d'armes» with a grave accent.
«The official blazon»The official blazon of this coat of arms is «Quarterly Azure and Gules a lion’s face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a tressure flory on the outer edge of the same». The following are my comments to the official blazon:
