For Matt Springer

[John Osgood]

Matt, I'm currently painting the UE Miniatures Man-at-Arms bust. Your box art was excellent. My interest is focused on the emblem you painted on the chest of the coat-of-plates and I'm having difficulty finding such in any of my references. There are emblems on other apparel but seemingly none directly on the coat-of-plates. Was your depiction from an historical source or might it have been artistic license? What type of emblems might be appropriate? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, John
