There is no such thing as the Appleby Coat of Arms.  Coats of Arms belong to individuals and there may be none, one or more individual Applebys who have been granted Coats of Arms. 

These are passed down the male line and strictly should only be used by those who are entitled to them.

If you put the name with "coat of arms" or Crest into your search engine you will find numerous commercial companies who are willing to sell you one.  These will either be from one of the entitled people or if they can't find one they will make one up as incidently did the Victorians when this was a fad.

The term crest strictly does not refer to the shield or the coat of arms but to the crest on top of the shield which follows similar but slightly different lines of inheritance.
