I agree that the design at
    http://www.adtelusa.com/reece/
is not blazonable (the particular interlacing of the annulets,
the clustering of the ermine spots, the way enhancing of the bend
sinister), and is returnable for non-period style.

I would suggest that the client be shown rolls of period arms to
give him ideas of period design elements.  Since I don't have JavaScript
and the Web page designer was a poopyhead, I can't check
    http://www.heraldica.org/topics/earlyrolls/
but it should be good for early-period style, which is usable
in about any Western culture.

    http://www.heraldica.org/
is a big site with lots of links.  I don't know what to point out,
except it doesn't have its own rolls of arms.

    http://people.delphi.com/ivanor/zroaen0.htm
is a 16th C. Swiss roll, so there's a fair amount of Germanic stuff.
That is, Germanic motifs.

    http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/clichelist.html
is useful as a list of SCA cliches.

Ah!
    http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~sfriedemann/rollofarms.htm
is where Aryanhwy collected a bunch of links to rolls of arms
on the Web.  Bless her!
Unfortunately, there's at least one broken link, and one is
just an ordinary (blazons, not pictures).
