And this is the arms, together with an extrapolation of Fasham Nairn's arms.  I was not sure in which order the black and silver quarters appeared.

 ;D Excellent!

Just a couple of things... for the arms you have called Fasham Nairn - the black and silver are in the wrong places (as you suspect).  It should be 1 and 4 = black and 2 and 3 = silver.

Also - you have the Gryphon on a blue background - this background was light coloured and that above the grailed edge was dark coloured.

The crest could well be exactly right - but as I said before it was so tiny that the detail was not clear.

By the way, the motto on the crest was VIRTUE ET HONORE.
