The arms in question belong either to the Velyaminov family or to its Vorontsov-Velyaminov branch legally established as a separate family. Both lineages belong to the Russian nobility; according to the legend, they are descendants of the legendary Konung Shymon the Blind (alias the Handsome).

Their arms are obviously based on the arms granted to the Pacholoweckis but this was a mere almost-an-usurpation with no genealogical justification behind it.
