There is only one Sinclair with arms registered in
South Africa.
Mr A G Sinclair:
Arms: Argent, a cross engrailed Sable charged in
the centre with a
crosslet in saltire Argent, in the canton a trowel erect Gules. Crest: A bagpipe Gules, drones and chanter Sable, embellished Argent. Wreath and mantling: Sable and Argent. Motto: COMMIT THY WORK TO GOD. As you will note there is no swan. I do know that on the Melck House, Strand St, Cape
Town, a well
carved swan appears on the pediment. I believe this relates to the Lutheran Church, with which this family were involved, which is next door. Sorry I cant' help more with any more
details, but may have been a blazon
on a signet ring?
