[ANSTHRLD] New Question

I have a client that wants to use her family name, Henderson, which is registerable even without the legal name clause.  However, she also wants to use her family coat of arms as her device:  Gules, three piles issuing from the sinister Or, a chief engrailled ermine. (Henderson, Randalls Park, Surrey, England 1865).  She has a letter from her son, who she states is the legal bearer of the arms, stating that she has his permission to use it.

While I can't find this situation addressed specifically in the RFS, it would seem to violate the rules of presumption.  Are there precedents that address this issue?

Thanks,
Padraig
