'''Official blason:'''<br>
===Official blazon===
Azure, semée of pine cones, a cross moline argent.


===Origin/meaning===
The ´semeé of golden pine cones´ is a variation of the Royal French arms, where the fleur-the-lys were replaced by pine cones to signify that Maine is the ´Pine State´. It was under a warrant of the French King that the first settlements  were attempted in what is now Maine by the DeMonts who founded a small colony on Saint Croix Island in the Saint Croix River in 1604.


'''Origin/meaning :'''<br>
The silver cross moline on blue is taken from the Dukes of Portland.
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome !
