Crests were not just something someone made up for themselves, but rather had a special significance, usually awarded or bestowed by a particular body. I'm sure others could comment much more technically that I. There are probably many crests. I wouldn't get too impressed with just getting "Shaffer Crest" and attaching too much significance to it, especially thinking it would have been in your Shaffer heritage unless you can document it. However, I do have one (with some explanation) that I will gladly send you if you mail me a SASE. A dollar would be nice, too, for the 8 pages & my daughters's time. G. S.
