So we're to wondering about the rest of the blazon, then. Part is "Or"
for the field, part is "three escallops inverted" and part is "on a bend
enarched sable a laurel wreath Or". Clear enough, but since you put "in
pale" so early in the blazon I'm not certain if you have three escallops
inverted (*must* they be inverted? 80% of the registered escallops are
upside-down and I'm personally tired of looking at so much gas-station-sign
heraldry in the SCA) in pale down the field, or somehow arranged above the
bend (which is weird, but possible).
How, please, are the escallops arranged on the field?
