Its authenticity is confirmed through X-ray analysis, adding an extra layer of assurance to its value.

The motto 'Toujours Prêt' is recognized in standard British heraldic sources as belonging to several families. Originally a war cry or slogan, mottoes began appearing with coats of arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, although they weren't commonly used until the 17th century. It's important to note that mottoes are often an optional component of a coat of arms and can be added or changed at will. The Carmichael surname traces back to a barony in Lanarkshire, granted to the Douglas Family by Robert the Bruce in 1321. Prior to this, Robert de Carmitely held lordship in Cleghorn around 1221, and William de Creimechel witnessed a charter in 1225. Sir John de Carmychell held a charter for the lands of Carmychell between 1374 and 1384 from William, Earl of Douglas. The Barony of Carmichael was formally confirmed to the head of the family in 1414. Sir John de Carmichael of Meadowflat notably fought alongside Scottish mercenaries in France against English invaders led...
