Members' Roll of Arms

Notes

The design reflects heraldic and historical influences drawn from the Grabovac arms associated with the Royal House of Georgia (Bagration-Mukhrani dynasty). The armiger is a Papal Knight and a senior knight within the dynastic orders of the Royal Houses of Georgia, Italy, Portugal, Montenegro, and Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Within the Commonwealth, he is a Member of the Venerable Order of St John and Honorary Consul of The Bahamas to Australia.

Authority

College of Arms 2016-volume 179, page 244

Notes

Badge: The top of a tower Or on the battlements thereof a Griffin statant Sable supporting between the wings a Maltese Cross Or.
The Ulster-Scots surname “Gregg” means “Vigilant”. The motto of “Vigilance and Altruistic Unity” and the design of the shield reflects the concept of vigilance and the armiger’s Christian faith. The wings represent the service of the armiger as an officer in the US Air Force Auxiliary.
The Crest is a black griffin, symbolizing vigilance, strength and courage standing on a tower signifying vigilance. The griffin is displaying the Maltese Cross of the Order of St. John between its wings. As the armiger a businessman, the helmet is a “tilting helmet”, the “business” helmet of mounted warriors. The armiger’s badge is the crest of the arms.
