As Governor of California the future President Ronald Reagan adopted an elaborate coat of arms supposedly traced from powerful Irish aristocrats.
When he discovered he was not descended from this family he had Adolf F.J. Karlovský, an associate member of the International Academy of Heraldry, devise a new coat of arms. In 1984 the new arms were registered in the Solothurn State Archives in Switzerland. They are blazoned as:
Or a Bear rampant Sable armed and langued Gules holding between its forepaws a mullet Argent on a chief Sable standing on a ducal coronet Or a Falcon Argent armed and langued Gules wings displayed and inverted.

The crest was blazoned On a tilting helm a Demi-Horse Sable unglued Or charged on the shoulder with an Actor’s Mask Or, a mantling Sable and Or issuant from the crest and being.
For a motto Facta non Verba, or Actions, not Words.
Thus there is no wreath or torse. Instead the mantle is a continuation of the crest, as if attached to (or even the hide of) the horse in the crest.
