Gee, you're right about the spell-checker being out of service!

You'll have to come up with the correct translations or I just won't have a clue about what you are trying to say to me.

With the Helmet you can't have it both ways - you either have bars OR open if it is affronte (facing forwards), not a combination of the two - and from what I can see it is 'barred' and not open - a typical continental helm where the armiger could be an untitled, non-noble person or could be a Duke, or anything in between as the continental practice for depicting rank by helms is completely different to the rules used in regulated heraldry.

<<As far as the Marque statement, that is how it was described to me by a dutch historian, he was refering to the crown in the carving.>>
Do you think that this might have been referring to the coronet of a continental Marquis/Marquess?

When you get a proper blazon (in English, pls) for this armorial achievement, get back to me and I'll see what I can arrange for you.
