The oldest use of the arms of Genève dates from 1342, when the vicar of the St. Peter Cathedral used arms with two crossed keys (the symbol of St. Peter) and an eagle (the Imperial eagle). It is assumed that the city used arms already a century earlier, but there is no historical evidence thereof. | The oldest use of the arms of Genève dates from 1342, when the vicar of the St. Peter Cathedral used arms with two crossed keys (the symbol of St. Peter) and an eagle (the Imperial eagle).
