Hi Sandy (OohTeenyWahine) and the rest of the AGD's...
I have a question about AGD's armorial bearings?
Someone (an AGD) once told me that AGD has two "versions" of its armorial bearings (i.e. crest), an American and a Canadian.
The American would be this one:
and the Canadian would be:
(i.e. The "knight's helmet" is removed)
Why is this? Is it because Canada still has a monarchy? Just wondering! Thanks!

A few minutes later...
Okay, in surfing around to find "both versions" of the crest, I found this blurb that answered my own question!

...
The Canadian Armorial Bearings is different from the first one in that it is missing only the royal helmut. Because of the affiliation of Canada with the British monarch, the Canadian emblem does not include a royal helmut
Kind of interesting....
