Gules, a maunche between three spindles Or.


Going along with charges rarely used on SCA devices this one uses a maunch and drop spindles. A maunch is a medieval detachable sleeve of a woman's gown. Strangely, it often appeared on medieval coats of arms. Spindles did not appear as often, but were used. Like the arms I designed with the buckles, you have a good chance at being able to register a device in the Society for Creative Anachronism if you use maunches or spindles as they are rare.

Or, a water bouget and on a chief azure, three round buckles Or


Water bougets and buckles rarely appear on armory in the Society for Creative Anachronism despite being fairly common on arms of the Middle Ages. So if you are an SCA member and looking to register a device or badge that probably won't conflict with someone else's look to using buckles or water bougets.
