A. That would be the Scanian Griffin. This was the regional coat of arms of the Skåneland, also known as Scania (Skåne, Blekinge and Halland) the formerly Danish region of southern Sweden and my paternal ancestors homeland. Info on the griffin and general info on the Skåneland, including a short recap of several centuries of Danish-Swedish wars, can be found on the SSF web site.
