My friend is the Kingdom Herald. :) But before he was put in the office he
was familiar with European heraldry and in particular English. He has
contact with European Heralds and I believe he belongs to the French, "Order
of the Holy Spirit" so I trust him on knowing Heraldic stuff modern and
medieval. But thank you for the recommendation.

I have always found the College of Heralds very helpful if your friend does
not already know about them, although he may have to wait
a while for an answer if he e-mails them. I am very lucky as they are not
far from where I live, so I can "call in" when I need information.
For anyone who doesn't know, the College of Arms (my mistake above -
not the College of Heralds - wrote that in the middle of the
night!) was initiated by Richard lll, I believe in 1485. These are
the people who supervise the granting of arms by her Majesty the
Queen, and draw up mottoes, coats of arms etc.
