There are things not listed there.  The SCA stock clerk has the
Pictorial Dictionary at <https://stockclerk.sca.org/ftpw.html>.
The full cite is "A Pictorial Dictionary of Heraldry As Used in the
Society for Creative Anachronism, 2nd edition" by Bruce Draconarius of
Mistholme and Akagawa Yoshio.  It's $15 and that edition is getting a
little long in the tooth, but if you want to get into SCA armory, it's
invaluable.

While you're ordering, have them throw in "Old Norse Names" (Geirr
Bassi) for $6 and Alban St. Alban's "Faith in Life and Limb" for FREE.

If both those fail, then searching LoARs (though www.morsulus.org has
not been easy) or checking precedents under heraldry.sca.org is your
only hope.
