SR - Lions and Eagles and Boars, Oh My!

[Tim McDaniel]

Lest people think I'm just trying to shoot things down left
and right just to be sour, I should point out a couple of
things about my comments.

I don't have data on uncommon period naming practices.  You
might be able to justify "Hawk's Wander", say, or maybe not.
(In this case I *suspect* not ...)  Perhaps I have implied
or said more negative things than I actually know.  If so,
I'm sorry.

I can write with more confidence on armory, but even there I
can certainly err.

My intent is to just point out the common practices in
period.  My personal belief is that those are better style
and better re(-)creation.

For example, if someone at Wisby were to find one (1)
example of a hot-pink paisley helm with antennae, I hope
that it wouldn't become the new fashion in the SCA (tho it
probably would), but I hope and I would encourage people to
aim for the usual and standard helms from their times and
places.
