Korab is a Polish coat of arms. It was used by many szlachta (noble) families under the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

History

In 1983 the Polish Korab coat of arms was unusually incorporated into a grant of arms by the English College of Arms in London. These new arms included the Ciołek Arms held by the Zelenski (Zileinski) clan which were used as the crest of the Armorial Bearings with the shield of the Korab remaining the same. The two families were united by marriage in 1977. This was an unusual grant of arms and said to have made heraldic history in England.
