Argent an oak tree eradicated Azure masoned Argent its leaves Purpure;

The oak is a traditional emblem of both England and Germany and symbolizes Mr. Brickwood’s paternal and maternal ancestry. A tree closely associated with the British monarchy, it represents Mr. Brickwood’s loyalty to the Crown and his active involvement in monarchist causes. Oak trees also grow in Queen’s Park in Toronto, seat of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, where Mr. Brickwood works. Purple is a colour associated with royalty, and blue is Mr. Brickwood’s favourite colour. The brickwork pattern of the trunk is a pun on Mr. Brickwood’s surname.

A hurt masoned Argent irradiated of fountain pen nibs and oak leaves Or;

The field of masoned bricks and the oak leaves recall the shield. The fountain pen nibs identify Mr. Brickwood as a collector of fountain pens and as a writer of history and historical fiction. The overall shape of the badge suggests the sun or a timepiece, a reference to the motto and to Mr. Brickwood’s collection of pocket watches.
