In 1503 new arms were granted after the first merger of the haberdashers and the hurers. The new arms showed a shield with wavy bars, probably indicating the international trade in which the guild was involved. The lion is the lion of England and symbolises the Royal patronage. The arms remained in use after the second merger in 1503 and the removal of the title Merchant in 1510.
