I love anything interesting/vintage so thanks for posting and sharing with us.
Thanks for the link to Heraldry Symbols. We ended up just using Elmer's glue very lightly and it did not bleed through. We put everything together on our own. The framework was in 3 pieces and hubby J-B welded them together. We ordered the swords and the ram's head. We faux gold-leafed the ram's head because it was silver (plastic)and spray painted the framework. All in all it was a fun project but time-consuming. Now I can get back to some quilting. :-)
