<Giacomo> Venetian given name. ACADEMY OF SAINT GABRIEL REPORT 1870

http://www.s-gabriel.org/1870 states "... Giacomo from 14th and 16th century Venice" http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi?1870+0

<Fornerigo> A logical construction of a Venetian name. Forner is a Venetian dialect word for baker. http://www.elgalepin.com

The suffix "-igo". http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/venice14/venice14sur.html#table

"Barberigo… the -igo suffix is typically Venetian"

The book Passeggiate nel Canavese by Antonino Bertolotti, Volume 6, page 192 lists Pietro Fornerigno as receiving florins in 1441 (see attached image).

Submitter has supplied documentation to allow "sustained by an arm embowed proper" as an Individually Attested Pattern (A.4):

As regards to source, style, independence, and number, all 11 examples are from a single heraldic time and place (culture).

Commentators suggested that the peel is bendwise sinister, so the blazon was adjusted to include that.

The submitter received help from Gunnvor Orle, who suggested a UK based 16th Century eel-spear digitzed here: http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/Stars/Heraldry_SVG_Images/Wargear.htm

The submitter writes: "This charge can be found online as eel-fork, eel-spear, or eel-gleave. There is an eel-spear at the Museum of London."

An extant 16th Century "eel spear" for sale can be found here: http://www.antiqueoakfurniture.co.uk/view_details.asp?prod_id=56

Gunnvor Orle offered the following commentary -

"Parker says (http://karlwilcox.com/parker/?page_id=1401):

Eel-spear: a kind of fork (fig. 1) used in taking eels; is represented on one or two coats of arms, while a charge in the bearings of the company of SOAPMAKERS, called an eel-spear, is represented as in the second figure. ...The ordinary position of the charge is with the points downwards.

■Sable, a chevron between three eel-spears, points downwards, argent -- STRATELE, or STRATLEY.

■Argent, three eelpicks sable -- WORTHINGTON, Lancashire.

■Azure, a dolphin naiant between three eel-spears or -- Company of SOAPMAKERS(Inc. 1638.)

SENA A.2.B.2.a. (http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#A2B2a) discusses the use of tools known in period to Europeans as charges. As Parker shows, there was already some variation in armorial depictions of eel-spears. Some are pretty harpoon- or trident-like, others more suited to catching slender slimy eels by stabbing a tool down against the river or creek bottom. The depiction submitted is quite close to the Museum of London example, so it should be registrable."
