1895, Arthur Charles Fox-Davies, Armorial Families: A Complete Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage, and a Directory of Some Gentlemen of Coat-armour, and Being the First Attempt to Show which Arms in Use at the Moment are Borne by Legal Authority, page 134:
Elizabeth Brooke, […] Argent, a cross nebuly per pale gules and sable, […]
1904, John Meade Falkner, The Nebuly Coat, page 14:
'That is the coat of the Blandamers—barry nebuly of six, argent and vert.' It was the organist who stood near him in the deepening shadows.' I forgot that such jargon probably conveys no meaning to you, and, indeed, I know no heraldry myself excepting only this one coat of arms, and sometimes wish,' he said with a sigh, 'that I knew nothing of that either. […] every tavern loafer will talk to you about the "nebuly coat" as if it were a thing he wore.'
