This submission, other than art style, is not changed from the original submission.

This device was on the August 2007 LoAR:

This device conflicts with the device for Klaus von Hallerstein-Obersüdland, Gyronny of three arrondi Or, vert, and ermine, on a torteau a penannular brooch palewise, pin to sinister, Or . There is a CD for the field. In order to obtain a second CD, there must be a substantial (X.2) difference between the tertiary charges. However, there is a CD but not a substantial (X.2) difference between a serpent involved and a penannular brooch, and therefore changing the type only of the tertiary charge does not grant the necessary second CD.</blockquote>

Newer rules of differences created by fields may remove this conflict. Please discuss this.
