[ANSTHRLD] [Scriptoris] Interesting Achievement

[Hillary Greenslade]

Hum, interesting.... could it be that this particular set of arms drew your attention, 
  not because of the very interesting sea-elephant, but due to the bearers name 'Haines', 
  which just happens to be the same surname as yourself (in real life).  Hum? 
  Certainly couldn't have hurt.  
   
  I very much liked that they included the badge to accompany the arms, when appropriate, as show below the arms.

Some interesting elements there:
1) sea-elephant with two piscine tails (neat charge)
2) mantling with a bi-metal side.
3) a chief wavy of one crest depressed in the center of one point
4) use of a Naval Crown on the crest and within the badge (he's a
retired RN Commander)

Other recent grants can be found at
