[ANSTHRLD] Herald's Point Question

Hi everyone,

I have a heraldry/history question for those in the know.

I am heading up heraldry for our local event coming up, and I want to
make a herald's point as a central location to coordinate heraldry.
With the additional goal of adding some pomp and circumstance to the
scenery, I am looking to post a flag or banner over the point that
marks it as heralds point. When discussing this with the autocrat (who
is also the current Star Principal Herald, btw) the question was
raised as to what, exactly we should put on the top of the banner
pole.

1. Mooneschadowe's arms (Sable, a sun argent, eclipsed sable, and on a
chief Or, a laurel wreath sable)

2. Mooneschadowe's Badge ([Fieldless] A lion-dragon statant contourny Or.)

3. Badge of the SCA College of heralds

4. other

5. some combination of the above

I'm not necessarily looking for a "right" answer here. Though if there
clearly is one I am not likely to argue with it. What I would like is
some information on the Historical and the SCA takes on the subject so
the I can have make something of an informed contribution to the
conversation this is rehashed later on this month. I know that idea of
a herald's point is largely an administrative necessity of modern
events, and likely not heavily rooted in history.

Anyway, so there it is.

Asside; I talked about my Herald's point idea on my blog, if anyone is
interested in the details.
