[Ravensfort] Banner Making

[HerrDetlef]

The registered badge for the Ansteorran civil ensign is "Or, a mullet of
five greater and five lesser points within a bordure sable." In other words,
on a gold field, a black star and a black border. The civil ensign of
Ansteorra is traditionally displayed on a swallowtail banner (two points on
the end).

The registered badge for the Raven's Fort civil ensign is "Per fess
embattled argent and gules, a raven close and sinister facing sable and a
plate." In other words, the registered arms of the Barony, without the
laurel wreath.

There is also a naval ensign, which replaces the plate with a gold anchor.

These should be in the SCA Armorial. I'm puzzled that the Ansteorran
herald's page doesn't even have a depiction of the civil ensign. I will keep
looking.
