I assume you mean Edward the Black Prince's shield... That one is 73 cm tall and 60.5 cm wide. I don't know of an existing shield belonging to Edward III.

Yikes. No wonder I didn't know about it... Quite an ugly one! I've always passed right over those pages. Haha!

Maybe standard for down here in "big shield Atlantia" (yes, personal bias is showing).

I kind of prefer the size of the Black Prince's - basically 24x28. Almost a "standard Midrealm heater size" at least from back when I was active. And it is prettier - but many of the others in the book are too.

60cm wide, 94cm tall. Rounded corners on the top, curved on the bottom. I'll posted it to my FB wall, and tag you.

It was quicker to send it to myself on Gmail, upload it to Shutterfly, edit and post it here, even though I sent it to FB 2x.
