OK, at least now I understand the question.  You are not talking about a 
baton sinister, which is cut off near the edge of the shield on both sides. 
What they are wearing looks like the sinister half of a bend sinister or of 
a chevron.  (It's also enhanced, since it occupieds only the left upper 
quarter of the shield.

It's not a heraldic charge, and I see no clear way to blazon it.  It looks 
like a marriage of arms of "azure" and "Azure, a bend sinister enhanced".

You might get away with it (though I don't know), because the heralds don't 
require good style, bit I can't imagine anyone using this in the middle 
ages.
