    Doesn't the feather mean something?
    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.

    It signifies that Sketraw is an armiger.

    Those are very nicely done, Sketraw. I especially like the motto.

    Beautiful. Can you show us the full attainment of the arms?

    This is the full achievement of arms;



    You can see the grant of arms on this page Click Here

    The cost would vary depending on artwork but around £550. Subsequent Belt & Buckle badges would be a lot cheaper now that the basic artwork and moulds are made. About £75 and depending on amount ordered this price would further be significantly reduced.
