No. For one thing, there is no such thing as a family crest (this is a modern idea used by fraudulent research people hoping to dupe gullible and ignorant people) and in any case a crest is not the same as the coat of arms.
An individual who is granted heraldry, usually as a result of being awarded a knighthood, will be given a legal heraldic document providing proof of it. This legal evidence has been in place since the end of the medieval period. The document includes a "blazon", a technical description in Anglo-Norman French of all the parts of the heraldry: the coat of arms (that is, the design on the shield), the heraldic supporters, the motto, the helm, the mantling and crest.
The crest was originally a device placed on top of the helmet in the late medieval period; it can be all kinds of things but is usually not connected in any way with the coat of arms. In more modern times a drawing of the crest was often used as a letterhead or as a design on a carriage or car door.
Nobody other than the legal owner of that heraldry can claim any entitlement to it. In England, Wales and Scotland it is a serious offence in law to do so. In the case of a hereditary knighthood, the title and the heraldry is passed on the the eldest son, then his eldest son and so on. Nobody else in the same family or with the same name can make any claim to that heraldry without committing an offence.

They do little research and chances are that you will get a coat of arms that is completely made up or false. If you are in a hurry, do an internet search for "Boser coat of arms." At least five different coats of arms will be found. That suggests that at least five families had rights to arms, or that several people have fanciful ideas of what should be a coat of arms for this family.

How can you find your family coat of arms?
If the family name is of British, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish ancestry, the College of Heralds is the place to seek help.Heralds have, down thru the centuries, been the people who design and authenticate, family coats of arms, and crests. They are the official arbiters of what, who, why, and when, as it applies to family heritage.Do a GOOGLE search and see what the College of Heralds can do to help you.Follow up question on previous response. What about a European (Polish,German,Swiss,etc.etc.)surname. Use the same resources??Be very cautious in researching a family crest - the majority of people at that time did not have such an emblem, and were farmers, peasants, etc. There area lot of scam companies offering crests, lineages etc for a price.Don't forget, just because you find an authentic crest for your Surname does not necessarily make your family eligible. You must find and authenticate a direct lineage to the proper family members to use a crest.There is no such thing as a family crest; crests are part of the overall heraldry held by an individual (usually a man). They refer to the crest worn on top of a knight's helmet during the late medieval period - not to the design on the shield.A crest can be many kinds of things like a swan, a deer's head and neck, a man's arm holding a sword, a ship, a standing dragon and so on. This crest was often used as a badge by the knight's retainers and servants, who were not permitted to have a coat of arms.Fraudsters have in modern times pretended to be able to identify "your family coat of arms" in return for payment; this idea is completely false because if you have been awarded a complete coat of arms (with motto, supporters, mantling and crest) you will already have a legal heraldic document proving it - nobody without that evidence can claim to have any heraldry.In England, Wales and Scotland it is a serious offence in law to pretend that you have title to any part of a coat of arms (including the crest) when you have no such right.
