MASCH, C.M.C.
Wappen-Almanach der souverainen Regenten Europas.

The coats of arms were created in their classic, medieval form in the first half of the 12th century, the time of the Crusades. In this Coat of Arms Almanac from around 1840, the coats of arms of the regents of Europe, such as the King of Bavaria, the King of Hanover, the Queen of Great Britain, the King of Saxony, and the Queen of Spain are depicted. A simple full coat of arms must consist of a shield and an upper coat of arms (helmet, crest, and helmet cover, plus crowns of rank). Optionally, showpieces (splendid pieces) can be added, such as shield holders including their base, a motto, and a coat of arms (or coat of arms tent).
