Good point, Sir. You can also make sure your rattan isn't just pulped beyond the point of no return....

I would recommend perhaps colored wire-ties or hospital arm bands fastened around a shield basket, belt loop, or other manner to mark good weapons/shields, rather than paint.

Good point! I have the same Canvas covering on the inside of my shield which is now decorated with a green splotch right in front of my face. THAT was an annoying new rule. I can understand wanting to mark inspected items but that was not one I was happy with. Perhaps the hospital bands would be a good way to go or the wire ties.
