[Chuck Heisler Jr.]

Greetings,
 
I'd be interested to know the answer to this question as well.
 
Thanks for bringing it up.

Greetings, everyone.
Such a thoughtful and interesting discussion (and polite, too! Excellent!)

Here's another question. Someone said that the swastika was a prohibited
charge in SCA heraldry. It is my understanding that a while back (can't
remember when, but recently in dog years) a lady had a submission bounced by
the College of Arms because it contained a pentagram (pentacle.) At first
glance, this looks like blatant discrimination, since there are so many
crosses, stars, etc. out there. I admit I don't know the whole story, or if
it is in fact a real story at all. Any heralds who know more about this than
I do, who would care to explain?
Thanks!
Caryn
