The coat of arms of the Van de Sandt family

From the beginning of 20th century the coat of arms of the Van de Sandt family in Europe was a crowned, fourchy (tail forked) lion on the shield, and an issuant crowned, fourchy lion as a crest. Due to genealogical research it was found that in the 17th and 18th century the Van de Sandt family used a cramp on its arms. To refer to this elder tradition the family adopted in 1997 a new coat of arms, which is a combination of the two earlier arms.

The new coat of arms of the Van de Sandt family is now registered at the Dutch Central Office for Genealogy. The official description is as follows: In red a crowned fourchy gold lion; crest: a red cramp between a pair of red wings; mantling: red lined with gold.
