[ANSTHRLD] Heralds Digest, Vol 12, Issue 5

[Mike Wyvill]

There are examples(23) off devices on the OandA website that use a baton but 
the simplest I can find is described as "Gules, a baton sinister and in 
canton a mullet of seven points voided and interlaced Or" from 1979 ot in 
1974 "Lozengy sable and ermine, a baton sinister gules".

I don't know if current rules would allow it to pass however.
