[ANSTHRLD] Blazon and Device help: Argent chape ploye ermine

[Kevinkeary at aol.com]

Jayme's original suggestion should be good, alter the blazon to cure the  
style problem.
 
Reblazon: Per chevron throughout {ploye} azure and ermine, in chief a sheaf 
 of
arrows inverted, and a stag's head cabossed argent.

Now the 'ploye' specifies the curvature of the per chevron field division,  
and not a field treatment added to the top of the field. The emblazon 
already  has the partition lines running down far enough to make this work.
 
This wouldn't fix conflict issues, which I have not looked for.

Please  give your suggestion. This is a second attempt at a returned 
device. The  
original was "Azure ermine or, a stag trippant". The submitter now wants  
four 
major elements; ermine, sheaf of arrows, stag's head cabossed, and no  
conflicts.

We register the emblazon (the  picture), not the blazon (the words).
We adjust the words to suit the  picture.  If it can't be blazoned
accurately and consistently, it's  returned for not being reproducable
and/or blazonable.

A per chevron  field, like per fess, per pale, or per bend [sinister],
should divide the  field roughly in half.  On this depiction, the
ermine is maybe a  third.  If you move the dividing line up to fix
that, the charges are  likely to be in the correct positions and may
even have to shrink a  little.

By the way, any interest in period-style armory?  This  appears
registerable if there's no conflict, but I like to ask in case  people
have a preference.
