[ANSTHRLD] Conflict Check: Per pale, sable and gules within an annulet counterchanged a wolf sejant gaurdant to sinister counterchanged

[Eldwin Nightowl]

Tostig,
 
Do you or does anyone know what period that device is from?  I'm largely speaking from ignorance here, but I thought things like sable on gules, gules on sable were more of a post SCA period thing.  Although I have seen late period arms that would fail as clear identification at any significant distance on the battlefield.

>Ansteorra currently has a submission with this type of poor contrast awaiting decision at Laurel.  The standards for documenting exceptions are very exact.  For what you have proposed you need to find 3 "exact" examples or 6 "similar" examples.  See 'From Wreath: Documented Exceptions, Armory Documentation, and Core Style (Oh my!)' in the July 2010 LoAR Cover Letter  http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2010/07/10-07cl.html

>Your research may prove more fruitful, but the closest example I know of is from German Heraldry, and it has only _one_ complex outline charge counterchanged sable and gules.
