OSCAR is unable to find the name, either registered or submitted.
As with the device IAP, I am including Orle's excellent internal commentary that was added for help with this in toto.
We can tighten this up some. Since we didn't find red shakeforks on blue fields, we then try and "document around it" using various other red central ordinaries with high contrast charges on a blue field. SENA A.4.C.3 suggests six bracketing examples. I would suggest a variety, not just bends. If you have trouble getting that, you can try red fields with blue central ordinaries and high contrast tertiaries.

And to further add onto the massive amount of reading for this, I'm putting in more of the comments from internal, to save people from having to say them again, or to discuss things further.

I didn't find any conflict.
I'm confused; SENA A.4.B says:
"What Must Be Documented: Each element of the armory which falls outside the core style rules must be documented. If armory has multiple elements which fall outside the core style rules, the combination of these non-core style elements should be documented, although larger numbers of examples of each non-core style element may suffice, as described below. The overall design of the submission must be similar to the types of designs that document the use of the non-core style elements. In general, examples must match the submission in style and complexity."
IOW (as I understand it); "If you want to do something we usually forbid, you can do it if you get it to jump through the following hoop. If you want to do more than one such, you must make them jump through the hoop together, or get each to jump through a tougher hoop." There's nothing in that rule that requires said hoop-jumping by Core Style Rule elements. Yet the immediately following example is:
"For example, the attested Gules, a fess sable is not evidence for the submission Gules, on a fess sable between three mullets argent three bezants nor is it evidence for the submission Gules, a lion sable."
I can understand 'a fess is not a lion', but I can't understand why high-contrast secondaries around a primary ordinary and high-contrast tertiaries on a primary ordinary are a problem. Has the rule per se been mis-written, or is the example in error?

Emma Wreath Emerita can probably explain this better, but the idea is to show that THIS pattern is a reasonable extrapolation from period heraldry. SENA A.4.B. (http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#A4B) says (my emphasis): "The overall design of the submission must be similar to the types of designs that document the use of the non-core style elements. In general, examples must match the submission in style and complexity."
Out of a few thousand examples, I came up with only 6 examples of an azure field with gules central ordinary with high-contrast tertiaries. Five were bends, one was a saltire. This isn't making a good case for the shakefork. In fact, we have just that one lone shakefork, which suggests that this is a really rare motif in German heraldry.
So, to bolster the case, I tried to get more non-bend ordinaries, so I'm saying essentially, "well, they did this with bunches of types of central ordinaries, incl. bends, saltires, fesses, crosses and pales, therefore a shakefork treated this way is not unreasonable".
I probably need to take a look at French and Italian also to see if I can make a stronger case in another jurisdiction (Parker and Fox-Davies comment that palls and shakeforks are rare in English heraldry but common in Scottish and ecclesiastical heraldry). I'll report back.

I don't have access to any early Scottish heraldry and haven't been able to find any convenient rolls of arms on-line, but I have a couple of books on Scottish seals. Pretty much all of the palls and shakeforks I found are for Cunningham (Argent, a pall sable) and branches of that family. I found two charged with a quatrefoil and an inverted pall charged with a falcon, but so far that's been it. I am not done looking yet, though, there are supposed to be shakeforks in Flemish armory. Can we use Scottish and English armory examples together, or do we count them two jurisdictions?
