Ah.  I'll have to look again.  Thanks.

There are also plenty of illustrations of heralds with white wands.

Why do you say that?  That would imply, to me, that the bearer was the
legitimate heir of the shire and the SCA College of Arms -- talk about
"son of 'bride of the regiment'"!  Do you have any period examples of
quartering office arms (which the crossed trumpets aren't, anyway --
office arms were, so far as I've seen, borne by one person) with
territorial arms?
