Eginolf von Basel. Device change. Bendy azure and gules, a wolf's head contourny erased Or maintaining in its mouth an egg argent.

While the submitter provided sufficient documentation for this low-contrast multiply-divided field, the documentation was not sufficient for the combination of this field with a primary charge partially obscuring it. Therefore we must reluctantly return it for insufficient documentation of an Individually Attested Pattern.

This device is also returned for conflict with the device of Wulfgar der Krieger, Gyronny of six palewise sable and argent, a wolf's head erased contourny Or. There is one DC for the change in field, but nothing for the maintained egg.

Submitted for an attested pattern of red and blue bendy field. The descriptions of the included images is below the quoted text.

Jennifer Smith (via SCA Heraldry Chat): "If you want to stick to German, you can cite the 2-3 barry, chevronny, checky and paly that are all red+blue, and then find *any other* color combination of bendy (or something that includes bendy, like paly bendy), to prove that the Germans did in fact use that field division. Then you've got proof of the field division AND red&blue used on other fields sliced into a similar number of pieces."
