Does anyone have a reliable blazon for the arms of Pope Gregory XIV? I have prepared a version for free use on Wiki Commons based on this blazon:
1 and 4, Azure, a bend embattled counter-embattled between two estoiles Or; 2 and 3, Argent, a walnut tree eradicated and fructed proper. (From Notes and Queries, June 1882.)
Which produced this:

However, most versions I’ve found are emblazoned like this:

Obviously some significant differences. Is there an authority I can consult on this?
How about a contemporary source?
Very helpful. Thanks!
