Family Crest

Hi, We have a framed Dowdy family coat of arms, which I assume is the same as the crest.We purchased it many years ago.Our shows ribbon or leaf-like design with the
crest on top.The crest has a big "X" on it and in the top part of the field are crossed swords in the shape of a cross...the bottom sword handle is pointed down, the sword on top has the handle on the left.Above the crest is the head piece of knight's armor and above that is an arm bent at the elbow, in armor, holding a pointed spear.The point is to the left.The field of the crest is green. I know I haven't described this well....if you can't tell from the description if it matches one of yours, I'll be glad to send you a copy.I don't have a scanner so it will have to be by mail.
