Coat of arms of Ronald Reagan
- Coat of arms of Ronald Reagan
-
When he was Governor of California, future President Ronald Reagan made use of an elaborate coat of arms supposedly traced from powerful Irish aristocrats. When he discovered he was not descended from this family, he hired Adolf F.J. Karlovský, an associate member of the Académie Internationale d'Héraldique, to devise a new coat of arms. In 1984 the new arms were registered in the Solothurn State Archives in Switzerland. They are blazoned as:
- Or, a Bear rampant Sable armed and langued Gules holding between its forepaws a mullet Argent, on a chief Sable standing on a ducal coronet Or a Falcon Argent armed and langued Gules wings displayed and inverted.
The crest was blazoned On a tilting helm a Demi-Horse Sable unguled Or charged on the shoulder with an Actor’s Mask Or, a mantling Sable and Or issuant from the crest and being [words missing].
Thus there is no wreath or torse. Instead the mantle is a continuation of the crest, as if attached to (or even the hide of) the horse in the crest.
The Latin motto is Facta non Verba ("Deeds, not words").
