Blazon

Vert a crossbow Or in bend sinister with two arrows Argent interlaced one on either side of the crossbow shaft.
(Glossary of Heraldic Terms)

Significance

The badge design was inherited from the Royal Navy with a slight alteration. In the original badge the two arrows stopped short of the cord on the bow, whereas here the arrows are extended and interlaced with the bow, making the device one unit instead of three.
