__Rule of Tinctures__ [] - 2000 LoRR (not SCA?) with rule that ordinaries may violate the rule (p4-5) [] - "mundane" article about exceptions to the rule

[] - An Tir Letter of Intent with summary of documentation, item #30 Ursula Georges. Note that "Gules, a bear passant sable" is registered to her. In [] says that the device was returned for lack of documentation of an ANIMATE charge, since she provided examples of color-on-color ordinaries. By [] she had provided the necessary examples. The case provides an interesting example of the issues involved in registering such an "exceptional" device. []

[] - sable charge on an azure field, no concrete example given [] sable on gules, arms of Albania and Samogitia

From commentary on OSCAR: If it //is// a Russian firebird, it's a //demi-Russian firebird erased displayed.// Russian firebirds are identified by their prominent tail feathers, which are rather peacockish in form -- see the attached example of Bogdan Borodets, reg.Dec 80, ... the Society's defining instance of the charge.
 * __Russian Firebird__**

I question whether this bird is identifiable as a //Russian firebird// without the tail. 1: From the Sept 2007 LoAR ([]) > Syban Khal. Device. Sable, on a plate a Russian firebird volant palewise, facing sinister and wings displayed gules, all within a bordure rayonny argent. > The use of a Russian firebird is a step from period practice. However, since they are almost invariably drawn in the Society with wings spread, the fact that it is also effectively displayed here is not a second step from period practice. The firebird as drawn here lacks feet and thus cannot be blazoned as displayed. Not all registered firebirds have wings displayed.
