Heraldry
King Louis XVIII granted the general the ancient Ferry coat of arms with the addition of a helmeted head flanked by two primitive stars, and a lion passant holding a sword in the bottom half, to indicate that the arms' holder held his sword high and firm in battle. The heraldic description is :
| “ | Of azure, with a fess or, accompanied by a helmeted head in profile, or, flanked by two stars, argent, and in the bottom half a lion passant, or, with claws and teeth, gules, holding in his right paw a sword, argent | ” |
The family motto is "In honore et virtute ferri".
The family has been inscribed by the Association d'Entraide de la Noblesse Française (ANF) since 1951, and is still represented today.
