    Yes, Steven, I assumed these arms a few years back. Since I lacked the means to register them at the time, and since it is not illegal in South Africa to bear assumed arms, I did not begin the registration process until late last year.
    The background to them, as well as the blazon, you will find at http://www.reocities.com/skildsoom/OettleE.html – this page was part of the heraldry website I maintained for some years.
    Kyle, while I am not sure what you mean by a rendered drawing, but the first colour illustration in the article, as well as the last one, were imaged on computer by Australia-based artist Barrie Burr. I also have hand-painted renditions (in digital form) by Ton de Witte and Denny McGoff.
    Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. The credit should go to the artists, since while I devised the arms, I had to rely on others to produce illustrations.
    Regards,
    Mike
