Well, to me at least one is severely out of position, the helmet is closed.

As for what is has been used for, I'm trying to remember. I know the key has been severely altered for Scouts Royale Brotherhood, and I think I posted here about a fictional one based on ours but beyond that, I'm not sure...

Well, one thing it says to me is that our company has a hard time writing words in any way other than completely horizontal.

I know that APO-Phil has actually sent out a reminder to the chapters not to "color in" the elements of coat of arms (the torch flames red, the trefoils green).
