No pictures of the old one for comparison? --Joffeloff 21:19, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I have not yet seen passport covers with the new coat-of-arms. Anyone spotted any? – Kaihsu 13:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Blazon? edit
Is it possible to prepare a blazon for this? – Kaihsu 20:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- There is a blazon in the text, but it's strangely written with those points. Arms Jones (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
The blazon is from the official blazon, prepared by the Bureau of Heraldry (South Africa) once they were presented with the winning design.

- Is that a South African custom, to write the blazon in points that way? Arms Jones (talk) 23:50, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Seal? edit
The article mentions a seal of the republic. I haven't been able to find a picture of this. What does it look like? Is it the same as the coat of arms? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 17:02, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Is it possible to copy or transfer the Coat of Arms of South Africa (SVG version) to Wikimedia Commons? FireDragonValo (talk) 14:51, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
