But, speaking of that helm, might it not be supposed to be on a torse? "Or" ( ha) if that is a torse, ought it also not have two colors?
Well I'll admit the style of the COA isn't my area of knowledge here. I've designed that particular one with an artist friend of mine, while doing some research to make it a bit more authentic. I'm open to suggestions of course. 
MacLowlife: Originally it was going to be just the lion, but I decided to go with a full COA just to add to the whole theme of it.
