Azure, a Sword Argent and a Key Or in saltire.
Željko Heimer, 12 December 1999
If you want to be precise about the placement of the sword on the key, you could say either "Azure, a sword bendwise Argent debruising a key bendwise sinister Or", or "Azure, a sword Argent and a key Or in saltire, the first debruising the second".
Blazon by Mühlemann (1991): "In Blau ein silbernes Schwert, schräg gekreuzt mit einem goldenen
Schlüssel."Translated: Azure an sword Argent saltire with a key Or.
Jarig Bakker, 24 June 2000
"Debruised" is a term which, properly speaking, should only be used when a
charge or ordinary is placed over an animal, and the correct term in English
heraldry is actually "surmounted by". I would have thought that something like
'Azure a key in bend sinister Or surmounted by sword in bend Argent' would be
the more accurate.
