Right now I'm loving the Teutonic Order, so here goes (I'm also planning two Teutonic kits, one 1375, and another 1330)

In the second pic, the opposing knight has his red shield blazoned with a white cross and what appears to be a white double-chevron under the arm of the cross...any meaning to that?  I kind of like that...might be interested in making that MY CoA.

You know, that's a good question. It looks like a "W" sort of shape. I wonder if that's a maunch?

Ah, Durer's Knight, Death and the Devil, a most excellent image.  The second one might be from GDFB's Templar kit- although I would warn Sir Ulrich, the woolen variant is MOST heavy.  Perfect for winter warfare, if you will.  I'd gotten a set last year and found them way too heavy for me to consider wearing unless it was quite cold out.  Heavy, and well made- but too heavy for me.  If you can get the linen ones, I would go that route- I'm certain you can get the surcoat in linen, but not sure about the cloak, I think that only comes in wool.
