Per pale sable and argent two wyrms respectant grasping their tail in their mouth emergent from the line of division and a flame(?) and on a chief a chevronell inverted throughout counterchanged.
   
  Ok, blazon guys, how did I do? Sometimes I like challenges like this. 
  I like the design. It would look pretty good on a shield, or a surcoat. Simple lines, good to sew and draw. 
  Interesting, it looks simple but when I try to break it down it becomes very complex.
  On thing I learned years ago is heraldic identifiablity. And how it related to "period style". If the blazon were given to a scribal artist to draw, would the emblazon match what was blazoned? Here I think that would be a stretch. And I think that the positioning of the three items on the field is incorrect. A two and one position can be done, but they would be farther apart, and more of an equal triangle. I am not where I have my pic books, so I am not sure what the flame looking thing is. It is probably a standard charge, I just cannot remember what it is called. 
  Well, I will leave it to the Powers That Be to give the official word. 
  I say it is a good thing to start from.

I am just looking for any comments, corrections, or whatever it is
that goes along with this may need.

Thank you,

One's sense of honor is the only thing that does not grow old, and the last pleasure, when one is worn out with age, is not, as the poet said, making money, but having the respect of one's fellow men.

When you face a liar, look not first at the lie itself, but try hard to learn more of the liar and reason out just why he tells such a falsehood before you render judgement upon him. And if you find that liar is motivated by malice and spite, then render that judgement which causes his doom.
