Blazon: På blå grunn ei vengja sølv pil på skrå oppover. In English: Azure a
winged arrowhead argent in bend.
Approved by the royal resolution 23 September 1983 after a drawing by Harald
Hallstensen. [c2j87]
The design is that of Hestbø (Hestby) family, the most influential noble family
in Norway in the late Middle Age. They originate from Hasby in Finnøy. The
family ancestor Ogmund Sigurdsson (died 1320) used a seal with a winged
arrowhead, the design taken by his son Finn and grandson Ogmund Finnsson (ca.
1320-1338), who was most notable family member. However, with him the family
died out. His seal may be seen
here.
