Thanks CBL.
Glad to be of use.
If you want to do more Internet research, my shot at the heraldic description of the oval is two arms in armour embowed, grasping a stag's head cabossed, attired with twelve tines, with a motto ‘Secundis dubiisque rectus’ below. (Also try caboshed for cabossed)

Were it me, I’d be strongly tempted to try the College of Arms. After all, for 60 quid it means missing just a brace of Dig’s birds!
Enjoy that lovely gun!
