A Flynn Coat of Arms
O' Floinn, Anglicized as O'Flynn, Flynn, O'Lynn, Lynn.
Blazon: Azure, a wolf passant argent, in chief three bezants.
Crest: A dexter hand erect, couped, holding a serpent rail,
embowed
head to the sinister, all proper.
Motto: Non sine periculo ("Not without danger") yikes!
Anothermotto: Honor praemium virtutis est ("Honor
is the reward of virtue")
Whatsamotto:
As far as I can tell, the achievement lacks supporters and the helm
is commonly depicted in profile, indicating that
the original patent was to a peer or gentleman rather than a knight or
prince. The bezants signify gold coins of Byzantine origin.

Note: the requisite genealogical work as yet unperformed, I claim no
right
to display this achievement. It is a nice design, though. Those
interested
in heraldry might consult Heraldica
or the Digiserve site,
or perhaps the Open
Directory entry devoted to heraldry.
