I present the following items for your consideration:
1. Furukusu Tatsujirou Masahide. Badge change
resubmission. Sable, a pine tree within a hexagon voided and
fracted per pall, argent.
(Hawks Hollow)
Name passed on January
2005 LoAR.
Original badge passed on July
2005 LoAR. Sable, three pine trees each within a hexagon
voided and fracted per pall, one and two, argent. Fracting the
hexagons is one step from period practice.
I cannot find the Kingdom LoI that returned this
submission. A letter giving permission to conflict with the
device "Sable a hexagon voided within another argent" and written by
al-Haadi abd-al-Malik Husam ibn Khalid has been included.
2. Giovanna di Meir. Resubmission of Name and Device.
Argent, on a heart gules, a dragonfly argent, a chief gules.
(Fontaine)
Original name Giovanna figlia di Meir and device was returned by Kindom
on the May
2005 LoR.
Submitter cares about the language/culture of the name, desired gender
is female and is interested in the name being authentic for 16th c.
Italian.
