Who own the coat of arms?

[PeterBB]

Hello,

Is it something that knows who is the owner of this family crest?

[Naslednik Norvezhskiy]

I agree it's a Russian (or German) count's coronet.

The hatching with horizontal lines usually means blue, so the shield is blue. Without any hatching the eagle is supposed to be argent (silver, white). But I don't know whose arms that might be. The Orlovs, some of whom were counts, fittingly used a lot of eagles in their arms, but as far as I can see not just as the simple or only charge, like here.

Thank you so much and after a reschear at the internet found I also to the Princely Orlov house have four some different background in the crest but with same eagle pattern!
So I can think me to this is one of Orlovs family crest!

Attention  Reply #2    Re:  the word: "crest" :  In non-heraldric descriptions, "crest" is often confused with the images ("charges"), etc., within the borders of the shield proper, when in fact, the "crest" per se surmounts the displayed shield.   AP

Yes, saying "crest" for "arms" is rather non-U in 'heraldic circles'. (I'll leave it up to the reader to judge whether 'heraldic circles' means noble armigers or a bunch of geeks. **Langued gules in cheek**)

I have very serious doubts about the image posted are the arms of the Counts Orlov or Prince Orlov since they are Azure, an eagle displayed Argent. There were around six coats-of-arms confirmed or granted to Orlov families prior to 1798. None of these use an Azure filed but rather a paly field (which is exrtaordinaryily rare in Russian heraldry. I suspect that the paly field was part of the grant of arms from the Holy Roman Emperor rather than the Russian Emperor. Of course at a later date the arms and title were naturalised as Russian.
