angles
Are the angles of the fusils authoritatively specified anywhere? —Tamfang (talk) 19:59, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. Here lists extracts from Law, and that doesn't say anything. In fact, the word fusil is probably pushing the definition. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 21:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

the blazon says in bend, which means they are angled as opposed to the arms of Monaco. Tinynanorobots (talk) 18:10, 30 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, the long diagonal of each pane ought to be roughly parallel with a bend. I meant the angles between the edges of any one pane. —Tamfang (talk) 02:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Why are they called fusils and not rhombs, since rhombs are the direct translation of "Rauten". 82.135.74.41 (talk) 13:41, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Palatinate Arms
The lion of the Electoral Palatinate has a red crown, where the one in the state arms has none, making them not identical. Also, unlike other German arms, this one does not use heraldic courtesy. Tinynanorobots (talk) 18:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Old Coat of arms of Wittelsbach family
There is a sentence in the history sections which stated "Gules, a golden fess dancetty on a blue shield". Now anyone knowing anything about heraldry will notice immediately this is completely wrong and confusing. The first word "gules" means "red" and refers to the shield in general so the first paragraph of the sentence "gules, a fess dancetty" would mean: "red shield, a horizontal golden zig-zag line" but then it continues "on a blue shield", so how can this be? Is the shield blue or red? Anyway I've corrected this and replaced "gules" with "azure" since the latter refers to the blue color. We have the coa's of Scheyern and Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm who claim to use the old arms of the Wittelsbacher before they adopted those by the Counts of Bogen, today widely recognized as the white and blue fussils.

 * Could it be a plain blue field with a red inescutcheon? —Tamfang (talk) 00:43, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If that was the case then it would say escutcheon which in this case is not mentioned. The description was most likely a mistake made by clumsy editing or something similar.Shokatz (talk) 17:40, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
