My Spike did get nicknamed 'Eileen' at one point but he stayed on and has survived a couple events with a fair bit of fighting.

Was going to post mine then realized it's the second one that you linked to. Any questions about it let me know.

I always call them my rabbit ears. Wasn't sure anyone would appreciate the humor. Thanks.

As I know how much you love harpies, Zip. Here's another shot of my Coronation crest.

Sadly, she was designed to be expendable. She was filled with feathers so that when hit, she'd die in a glorious *POOF* of feathery goodness.

There are some pictures on the archive of my anvil crest at Pennsic a few years back. Here's one link I found:

The crest is leather stuffed with wool.
