     One description I've heard used for fieldless badges and how much
conjoining there needs to be with multiple elements is to think of it as
being cast or punched out of metal as a one-piece unit.  I worry that the
two "just barely touching" points won't be considered enough.  Would such a
badge of metal hold together?

     Making the dragon a bit bigger could help mightily in that regard --
the bottom foot can be securely grasping the dovetail, the one wingtip could
overlap a portion of the dovetail it's now touching, and you could even have
a forepaw grasping a dovetail.


Your honours in dutie.
