That one is a dandy for those who enjoy doing heraldry. Excellent figure.
 
Beautiful model and fantastic painting. I think the helmet is an interesting variation too - rather than another pig faced bascinet. Because of the decorated lance are we to assume he is at tournament or did knights go to battle with these too?
Cheers
