correspondence survived into today with no other known representation in existence, hence making it problematic to read the arms. Recognisable is the charge in shape of a bird, mantling and a single feather. Václav Mořic Salomon z Friedbergu had his own coat of arms, different to his elder brother’s. Again, there are only few signet seals, but when the family requested for conformation of nobility in 1863, attached to it was a sketch allegedly copied from a document from 1656. Why is there a charge of lion passant in the document and a lion rampant presented on seals remains a question. Notwithstanding that, the request was granted and since 1863 was the family’s coat of arms bearing the charge of Václav Mořic, the lion passant.

The difference is mostly in tinctures of third field concerning the wall, tinctures of mantling and blazon of banners (tinctures of fields and tinctures of text). Family’s history The Šalomon family lived provably in Frýdek in the 16th century and from the style of historical records it can be assumed that the surname Šalomon appeared right in that time The oldest written record is from 7 June 1541 and concerns Bartoš Šalomon, then local elder, about whom we know not more.
