<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 162879, member: 44"]That coat-of-arms upon the mantle is a unique one with a garter creating a circle for the elements surrounded with a ribbon type mantle and a lion and a eagle or a griffin supporters. It has a crown crest. I'm not up on heraldry as to country of origins though with the garter it might imply the Order of the Garter. I suspect it is a fantasy coat-of-arms and at this point the origins or maker is not important unless someone in Great Britain or of continental Europe might recognize it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Question to our British members: What is the correct way to call one living in Great Britain?
