d'Aubigny Seal
« on: Monday 15 July 13 10:29 BST (UK) »
I saw a coat of arms  on the internet which purports to be a seal  linked to the d'Aubigny family. I'm particularly interested in the presence of ermine. Can anyone verify if this is a legitimate seal, plus any info regarding where the original can be found?
Cheers,

If you google "d'aubigny coat of arms", images of 6 different ones come up!

Yours seems to be a French civic coat-of-arms?

So, not related to a family at all! ;D
