>How up to date is it? Does it say that AoA level can use a helm or not?

Still smoking as I pull it out of the heraldic files....The Ansteorran
College of Heralds has an ACHIEVEMENT REGISTRATION FORM.  The one I have in
the Tempio files is dated from 10/93.  Basically it is a simple form that
your local herald "should" have.  It asks such info as:
1)SCA name
2)Persona Time and Place (so as a 10th cent. Dane you don't receive a 15th
cent. Italian scroll)
3)Registraion date for your name and arms(these BOTH must have passed in
order to get your "REAL AWARD" scroll.
4)Real name, address, phone, etc...

The area which can be filled in are as follows:
