The coat of arms—an armored arm grasping a ring—is not a historical family coat of arms, but rather Hermann Göring’s own creation, which he also used on letterheads and seals in the 1930s. The interpretation of the name “Göring” in relation to the ring depicted in the coat of arms is a new or erroneous interpretation, as the name can be traced back to the Middle High German noun “gerung” (to desire, to wish, to strive) and thus has no semantic connection to a ring. A German silver beaker bearing the personal coat of arms of Hermann Göring. Standard mark 835, maker’s mark, model number 76086, Austrian import mark, Graz, 1922–2001. Germany. Schwäbisch Gmünd. Wilhelm Binder Company. 1930s.
