I've been reading (and saving!) with interest the various discussions on
the arms of various Eastern European countries and regions.  Here's a
question --- does anyone know how old these are?  Some of the countries
involved were indpendent for a while during the early part of the millenium
--- did they have arms then, or were all of these invented in the 19th
century, or some of each?  For that matter, how old are the arms of Russia
or its cities?  Anyone know any of this stuff?

I know that the Polish coat of arms (Piast Family) was in use by the time
of the Mongolian Invasion in 1241.

Is that the same one they still use,  "Gules, an eagle displayed argent"?
