Shield parted pale; at dexter Azure on a mount Argent a griffin rampant of the same winged Or holding a stemmed fleur-de-lis Argent by his foreclaws, at sinister parted per pale, at dexter Argent a fess Gules, at sinister Gules.

The griffin is representing the Paur kin. The family ruled district (Bavarian: Hofmark) and estate of Waffenbrunn from 1748 until the beginning of the 20th century. The sinister half displays the arms of the Darsteiner kin, who ruled the Darstein district (Bavarian:Hofmark) during the 14th and 15th century.
