I have developed flash card graphics which we use for the Sergeants Study packet in Wealdsmere. These files are available on the Inlands Regional web site:

Arms of the Kingdoms of the Knowne World
Arms of the Principalities of the Knowne World
Badges of the Officers of An Tir
Badges of the Awards of An Tir
Arms of the Principalities and Baronies of An Tir
Arms of the Branches of the Inland Region of An Tir
Arms of the Knights of the Inland Region of An Tir
Arms of the Peers of the Inland Region of An Tir (Royal, Pelican & Laurel)
Arms of the Sergeants of Wealdsmere
Arms of the Baronial Awards of Wealdsmere

(Comparing the blazon (the picture of the arms or device) with the emblazon (the words describing the device) is a good way to learn many of the basics of heraldry. Coloring in the flashcards is a good way to become more familiar with each device or arms.)
