I know that this is a bit of a long-shot, but does anyone remember arms designed or at least emblazoned here a few years back of an Azure field with a single simple charge/ordinary - like a pale or a fess - that I think was either Argent or Ermine. The crest was a male duck, a mallard if I remember correctly; and I think it may have been holding a key or something like that in its foot. I vague remember this, and I'm fairly sure that it was here, but I can't locate it anywhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Of course, I could be imagining this whole thing...)

If I remember properly, this was designed in the members section of the AHS. His first one was rather ghastly..

Re: Arms that I saw that one time -
I like the arms a lot, simple and timeless. The crest I am not so keen on. The mallard looks as if it's thinking "I know I look silly up here, but if I move I'll be shot". I'm sure the armiger had good reasons for his choice.
I am not sure that the ermine is ermine. If it were there should be parts of ermine tails at the edges. Is this not what is called "ermined".
