The blazon obviously differs wildly from the emblazonment with respect to the chief. If the chief is anything, if this is the approach taken, it is obviously argent, not sable. Yet another mistake by the TIOH.
Well I guess If one follows the blazon such as it is the sable field would be above the argent field.
But, is it really a "chief" if it does not touch the top of the shield? I don’t really have a problem with the argent actually being a "silver-grey", but I do find it hard to call the "black mountains" a "chief indented Sable". More like a fess. Another "problem" that I see is the "fimbriation" of whatever the "chief" actually is. Too many "shades" of "argent". It is a striking design, though. Or, could be, with some "cleanup".
I think I now have got what they are trying to describe with the term chief indented, it is the upper part of the black field. It is however an unfortunate use at it does not realy describe what is intended.
