Does anyone know a name of THIS line of division? It looks a little like nebuly… maybe nebuly-counter nebuly?
An interesting partition line is it not? Could it be counter nebuly invected? This double treatment of a partition opens many opportunities for a designer to create simple but unique arms.

If part of the axle is attached to a wheel as at http://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/~db/bsb00001755/images/index.html?id=00001755&fip=141.219.44.44&no=10&seite=201 is anyone aware of a usual way to approach the blazon?
It definitely is an unusual charge. This is the first time that I have seen a wheel attached to an axle hub or a broken axle. This is a great charge for the surname Axelrod!

That’s a new one on me. Perhaps they’re meant to be scallop shells?
Per bendy escallopy?

On the HSS forum John Gaylor (sp?) proposed a design for one of their members featuring a chief triple-arched flory which is quite nice. I sustect there are any number of creative possibilityes just waiting to be explored!

I think that is the correct way to describe it.
I have seen this kind of partition in some German armorials.

Probably only that they’re both canting arms for names based on "rose." Roosevelt=rose field; Rossenberg=rose mountain.
Except that there’s no mountain in evidence…

I get the invected but why is it counter nebuly? This seems to be identical to regular nebuly.

The blazon for the shield should be: Per bend nebuly invected Azure and Argent. I think that the word ‘counter’ came into the picture because the azure and argent brought ‘vair’ to mind.

Gotcha. Thanks.
