A Grant of Arms is the second level of armigerous rank (Award of Arms being the first, Patent of Arms being the third).
Title: The holders of Grants of Arms may style themselves "Lord" or "Lady", or in some areas, "The Honourable Lord" or "The Honourable Lady." They may be addressed as "Your Lordship" or "Your Ladyship." Third-person references should use the title form instead of "His/Her Lord/Ladyship." See also: Forms of Address
An Tir no longer gives a 'bare' Grant of Arms, it is an accompaniment to certain of An Tir's kingdom-level awards, as follows:
- The Order of the Goutte de Sang - for service.
- The Order of the Jambe de Lion = for arts and sciences.
- Ordo Hastae Leonis - for war leadership and/or fighting.
- The Lion et de la Lance - for equestrian arts.
- The Order of the Sable Gauntlet - for combat.
Previously the following awards conferred a Grant of Arms, but these orders have been closed.
The last "bare" or "naked" Grant of Arms given in An Tir was in 2018, according to the OP.

(In other kingdoms, intermediate awards don't always come with a Grant of Arms as they do in An Tir.)
The intermediate level awards in the West (Leaves of Achievement: Leaf of Merit, for service; Rose Leaf, for A & S; and Ash Leaf, for combat and combat support activities) do not carry a Grant of Arms. In Ansteorra, there are two intermediate levels of awards kingdom-wide: those that carry an AoA if the recipient does not already have one, and those that carry a GoA if the recipient does not already have one. I have been told that the Middle similarly has two levels of intermediate kingdom awards. And so it goes ....
The Patents of Arms (Chivalry, Laurel, Pelican, and the royal peerages) are the same throughout the Knowne World. But awards given by the various kingdoms vary *widely* in the structure of precedence when examined on an interkingdom basis.
