Cob von Nüdingen
Two black crows (1/1) on a golden background. The coat of arms was augmented (before 1630) by a blue shield with a continuous golden cross and four golden scallops and henceforth set in quarters.
Explanation: A talking coat of arms, if one assumes that Cob goes back to the corresponding Moselle-Franconian word for crow (from French corbeau ).
Eyb
In silver three (2.1) red shells, with the hinge turned up. On the crowned helmet, between two silver wings, is the head and neck of a naturally colored peacock with a golden beak and neck ring. The helmet cover is red-silver.
Explanation: The coat of arms of the Lords of Eyb consisted of a peacock neck on a helmet and shield until 1352. Only Ludwig II of Eyb, who made a pilgrimage to the promised land in 1341, received after his return from the emperor at his request, since he was the last of his tribe, the permission to use a new coat of arms for himself and his descendants. Three sea shells in silver because he had moved to Palestine, a gold crown on the helmet because he was the emperor's loyal servant, and in the crown half a peacock with swan wings. The empress, whose court master he was, honored him on this occasion with a ring with a turquoise and indicated to him that the peacock on the helmet should wear the ring around his neck as a permanent souvenir.

The right wing of the same is divided lengthways by silver and blue and covered with the oblique bar and the shells of the 2nd field, but the left wing is divided lengthways by silver and blue and covered with the three red hearts of the 3rd field ( according to Hefner, the open flight on the left helmet is silver).
