Please provide any other information that you can
Arm: the human arm is often found as part of a crest, although it is not very 
frequent as a charge. It should be carefully described as being dexter or 
sinister; erect, embowed, or counter-embowed; vested, vambraced, armed, or 
naked, as the case may be: sometimes it is cuffed. If couped, care should be 
taken to describe where. When couped at the elbow, it is called a cubit-arm. 
When armed, the metal-plates for the elbow are termed brassarts.
  An arm, when used as a crest, more frequently holds a dagger, arrow, &c.; also two arms sometimes occur.
