 9: Oleg Schwinghammer -Resub Device Change
OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in June of 2016, via the Outlands.
Per chevron throughout purpure ermined Or and Or, in base two warhammers in saltire gules
Old Item: Paly argent and sable, a pall Or between a lymphad and two bull's heads cabossed gules, to be released.
The previous submission, Gyronny of 24 from chief Or and sable, a sea-bull gules maintaining a war hammer argent, was returned on the April 2019 LoAR (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2019/04/19-04lar.html) with the following: { This device is returned for lack of documentation. No evidence was provided and none could be found for centering a gyronny field on the edge of the shield. What few examples we have of an interrupted gyronny pattern all have the focus in the center of the shield, issuing from a per fess line of division. Absent documentation, moving the focus of a gyronny field from the center of the escutcheon will be grounds for return.
In the October 2018 return of the device of Dawn Greenwall, Per fess gyronny of 26 from the fess point Or and gules and vert masoned Or, it was ruled:
This device is returned for dividing the field into too many gyrons. In the June 1999 LoAR, it was ruled, "The question was raised regarding whether gyronny of sixteen is period, and whether it can be used in the SCA. Papworth's Ordinary of British Armorials, cites an instance from the 12th century, and Martin Schrot's Wappenbuch, a heraldic treatise shows a 16th century example. Additionally, the LoI mentions a 13th century example. Given this, we will register Gyronny of sixteen in simple cases, but nothing more, barring period evidence."
This device goes beyond sixteen gyrons, and without documentation is unregisterable.
In that return, as in this submission, the number of gyrons is blazoned not by those visible, but by the total number necessary to complete a full 360 degree circuit. In this case, 12 gyrons are visible but 24 are necessary to complete the pattern.
This device is therefore also returned for dividing the field into too many gyrons. Absent documentation of a gyronny field of more than 16 pieces, this practice remains unregisterable.}

Grenade, fireball, and rose were the commentors' first impressions of the strange red mass in the center of the flame. Emblazon: http://oscar.sca.org/emblazons/Outlands/2016-03/saikhan-c.jpg}
