There is, supposedly, a Bittinger, Bedinger, Budinger armorial coat from Budingen recorded in Rietstap's Armorial General described as: "Or, bend dexter sable, in chief is mullets azure in base one mullet azure." "Or," the color gold is the background of the shield; "bend," a bar running "dexter sable" means a black bar is running from the top right corner of the shield to the bottom left signifies high honor and legitimacy; "chief" is the whole of the top and one-third of the total surface; "mullets" are five-pointed stars; "base" is the lower one-third of the shield; and "azure" is blue, the color of the stars. So--at the top of the shield are two blue stars and at the bottom is one blue star. Danske (Bedinger) Dandridge claimed in correspondence to her brother Henry that she had seen a Bedinger seal in the hands of her cousin Frances Gibson, but it had disappeared. The particular seal had on it a rampant griffin.
