Coat of Arms

image located by Ethan Dubrow, 17 August 2024

The coat of arms of Sudzha is a bluish grey and is divided into two sections horizontally. At the top is a descending blue bar with three black birds. At the bottom is a wild grey goose sitting in green reeds (a tall grass-like plant found near marshes) in a silver field. The coat of arms was created by Alexander Andreevich Volkov circa 1780.

The chief displays the arms of the Kursk Oblast, which is blazoned as: Argent on a bend azure three partridges of the field. However, for an unclear reason, the birds are depicted as proper.

The field of the arms of Sudzha is also argent: http://heraldicum.ru/russia/subjects/towns/sudzha.htm
The tincture may be depicted either as white or as a very light grey; in the latter case, bluish shade is just a result of the aging of the image.

As https://geraldika.ru/s/20400 says, the field is supposed to be white, but is depicted as light grey ("silver").
