We specialize in Rare and hard to find Collector books on Heraldry

True heraldry, quite distinct from the tribal emblems and insignia used by warriors in ancient times, began in the second quarter of the 12th century, when it appeared simultaneously in several countries of Western Europe.

The earliest known decorated shield was that which Henry I gave to his son-in-law Geoffrey of Anjou when he knighted him in 1127.

By definition, heraldry is the art or science of blazoning the description
in appropriate technical terms of Coats of Arms and other heraldic and
sartorial insignia.

In peaceful times, these insignia were the reward of personal merit and
could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest. They were
testimonials and warrants of the bravery, heroism, and meritorious deeds of our ancestors.

We are now pleased to present for sale a fine selection of books on heraldry.
