Coats of arms of former municipalitie of Sint_Michielsgestel, North Brabant, Netherlands 1817 version
Note: During the application of this coat of arms in 1815 the major did send an old seal from 1618 to the Hoge Raad van Adel. Becausse the colours where unknown that time, it was standard procedure tot give them the colors blue and gold (rijkskleuren, the national colors). The little shield was originally the Coat of Arms of Hendrik van den Bergh (red lion, golden crown, nails and tongue on a silver field) lord of Sint-Michielsgestel. The Hoge Raad van Adel did write in the official decription "Gelderland" (blue shield with golden two tailed lion, red nails and tongue) but however they did drawed (by mistake?) the lion of Holland on the diploma. This coat of arms is a representation of the image as used by the municipality. (Source in Dutch language: bhic.nl)
This image depicts a coat of arms of a (former) Dutch governmental jurisdiction, municipality, province, water board (Dutch: "Waterschap") or diocese. These coats of arms have been registered with the Hoge Raad van Adel[1], and are/were being used by the organisation to which the coat of arms was granted by Royal Decree (Dutch: Koninklijk Besluit). Every person is allowed to use the image of the arms, with some restrictions, see fragment below of the Ministerial Notice of 3 September 1979 (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken) (Dutch).
Fragment from the memo: The depiction of a municipal coat of arms is allowed: the municipality holds no rights of creation of the coat of arms. There is also no objection against the use of a municipal coat of arms al for localising objects that are traded or that are being advertised, just as long it is ensured that no impression of municipal involvement or responsibility is created.
In view of Dutch legislation the use of the arms or reproductions thereof is regarded as being in the
public domain
. Everybody is allowed to make a drawing of the arms (on paper or electronically) in his/her own style based on the Royal Decree and claim it to be the arms of the municipality and uses it within the restrictions shown above. But there is copyright on each individual representation of the arms. This copyright lies with the artist that made that specific drawing based on the Royal Decree, not by the municipality.
