I'm not really clear on what the term "contourny" means, so I'm not
sure if this would have a conflict with my proposed badge. I also
don't recall if badges need 1 CD or 2. I know the tertiary charge will
help, but I don't know if it will help enough.<br>
Contourny means facing sinister.<br>
Badges need to be cleared the same as devices. You need two CDs to
clear any armory IF it can't be cleared under X.1 or X.2. However,
remember that you often need two 'differences' to count as one CD when
looking at tertiary charges (RfS X.4.j).<br>
Back to the RfS.<br>
We're comparing two wolf's heads so we're down to X.4.<br>
X.4.a.iii Fieldless difference is the one that applies here. "A piece
of fieldless armory automatically has one clear difference from any
other armory, fielded or fieldless."<br>
So there's the first CD.<br>
Nothing for X.4.b, X.4.c, X.4.d, X.4.e, X.4.f, or X.4.g.<br>
X.4.h Posture changes. Nothing for 'to sinister' vs 'contourny' as
they are the same thing. However Nikolai's head is "bendwise" so there
is a CD for changing it to the default "palewise". Note: you can only
get one CD for the category so if his head was "bendwise (to dexter)",
you'd still only get one CD, <u>not </u>one for the change from
dexter to sinister plus one for bendwise to palewise.<br>
X.4.j Addition of Charges on Charges gives a third CD for the harp
"Adding or removing any group of charges placed entirely on other
charges in one clear difference".<br>

Did you find these when checking your badge? <br>
<br>
Dafydd MacDonald: (Fieldless) A greyhound's head erased argent collared
vert.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
One CD by X.4.h for change of orientation to sinister.<br>
That saves you from having to decide whether there's a CD for the
collar or not. There would be if it wasn't vert - a collar is
considered a tertiary charge when on a head but not when on a whole
beast (can you find the precedent that says this?), however as it's
vert, you'd only have difference for type, nothing for tincture.<br>
<br>
Phineas Magollricke: (Fieldless) A wolf's head erased argent charged
with a cross moline gules.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
One CD by X.4.h for change of orientation to sinister.<br>
One CD by X.4.j.i for cumulative changes to charges on charges. Note
that a wolf's head is not 'simple' so you need two differences to get
this CD, which you have by change of tincture and change of type.<br>
<br>
Stephen Wolfe: (Fieldless) A wolf's head erased within and conjoined to
an annulet argent.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
One CD by X.4.b removing the annulet.<br>
One CD by X.4.i for adding a charge on a charge.<br>
<br>
John Wolfstan: (Fieldless) On a wolf's head erased ululant contourny
argent a double rose gules.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
Nothing for posture. Ululant (nose raised) is an SCA variation but
does not give a difference.<br>
One CD by X.4.j.i for cumulative changes to charges on charges. Change
of tincture and change of type.<br>
<br>
George of Glen Laurie: Azure, a St. Bernard dog's head couped at the
neck bearing a cask at its neck, all proper. [Canis familiaris
extrariis St. Bernardi]<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
This is on an azure field, so is likely predominantly white, therefore
I wouldn't count on a CD for tincture.<br>
Nothing for couped vs erased.<br>
However there is one CD for orientation (default changed to sinister).<br>
I'm guessing the cask would be similar to a collar and grant a CD by
X.4.j.i but you've already got your two CDs.<br>
<br>
Greyhope, Shire of: Azure, a greyhound's head erased contourny within a
mascle argent.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
One CD by X.4.b for removing the annulet.<br>
One CD by X.4.i for adding a charge on a charge.<br>
<br>
Stefan von Bernhardt: Per bend sinister azure and vert, a wolf's head
caboshed argent.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
One CD by X.4.h for orientation (caboshed changed to sinister).<br>
One CD by X.4.i for adding a charge on a charge.<br>
<br>
Fáelán MacFergus: Per bend sinister wavy sable and checky Or and gules,
in canton a wolf's head erased contourny argent.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
No CD for arrangement as position doesn't make sense for fieldless.<br>
One CD by X.4.i for adding a charge on a charge.<br>
<br>
Dregel Alewulf: Quarterly sable and gules, a wolf's head erased
contourny argent.<br>
One CD by X.4.a.iii for fieldless.<br>
One CD by X.4.i for adding a charge on a charge.<br>

The badge looks clear.<br>
