Undifferenced arms


Undifferenced arms (or plain arms) are coats of arms which have no marks distinguishing the bearer by birth, order, or family position. In the Scottish and English heraldic traditions, these plain coats of arms are legal property transmitted from father to eldest male heir, and are used only by one person at any given time. The other descendants of the original bearer could bear the ancestral arms only with some difference.
