Will start looking into the Toison d'Or tomorrow, was busy these past two days by reviewing the site for some updates...there is no hurry. :) Finellach (talk) 13:31, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

One question. Regarding this CoA...what exactly is wrong with it or rather what is wrong with the eagle? And if you don't mind what is the source for it? I've tried looking around to see how it should look to figure out what you are asking to be corrected but I just cannot find this variant. All I could find was this. So what is going on? :S Finellach (talk) 17:43, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Hmm thats interesting. The difference between these variants is quite big, don't know what to make of it. As for Cinque Ports, sadly no...there is a book called Roll of the Constables of Dover Castle and Lord Wardens of the Cinque Ports from 1627 by John Philipot but I couldn't find an online version of it. It lists about 75 arms of various Lord Wardens. Besdies few pages that are out there "for preview" I had no general insight in it so I had to manage by looking for alternative sources and so on. I've also found a few photos of the room where they had the arms of Lord Wardens so in a strange manner I was looking at those as well and trying to decipher which CoA belongs to which person. In general I've used several sources...mainly Burke's book on heraldry, some armorials, etc. So it's a mish-mash. Wish I could have a complete insight into John Philipot's book though.

Interesting find....thx. I've been looking for a decent version online of Korenic-Neoric and couldn't find it. In Fojnica armorial Croatia is the variant after 1527...5x5 or 5x6 rather so since they came from the same source I figured they are probably the same. Also looking at these arms I can now confirm what I thought all along...the arms of "kingdoms" are named "lands". Finellach (talk) 15:26, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Suggestion. Maybe it would be better if you uploaded the arms from Korenic-Neoric and Fojnica under their modern spelling as opposed to this archaic spelling. I can tell you as a native speaker that it looks weird as hell. :S Finellach (talk) 12:32, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Here is one [1]. You can omit the 'ć' and 'č' letters when uploading. I've would have used the actual original spelling but the letters weren't showing right before, seems ok now. So I'll have to go over it once more one day. :) Finellach (talk) 12:42, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
