<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewEngland, post: 4496555, member: 6071&quot;]I found this at a sale and after researching online, I believe it is a handpainted coat of arms/family crest from George Washington. It&#039;s professionally framed and I haven&#039;t opened up the back. It&#039;s painted on paper with some metallic paints and the griffon bird at the top is cross-hatched in black. Some of the words&nbsp; &quot;Rexitus Acta Probat&quot; have chipped off and the paint is old and chippy. I&#039;ve read that George Washington was proud of his family crest and used it as bookplates and other items.&nbsp; Any thoughts? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]392772[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392774[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
