which I changed to:
since it didn't seem to be the proper phrasing to fit as a encyclopaedic entry. -- Carrac 21:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
While working for a telecommunications company, the term Escutcheon was used to describe the self-adhesive labels that were applied to two-way radio housings, prior to positioning of the control knobs. The dials for these knobs were printed on the labels (e.g. volume scale and channel number). The labels had holes corresponding to the shafts of the potentiometers and rotary switches to which the knobs were affixed. I presume therefore that an Escutcheon can be the label used on any instrumentation panel, on which the necessary markings for dials and knobs are printed.

Requested an image to illustrate what shape an Escutcheon is. Although, would I be correct in saying that the image from the template above, Image:PB Scrope CoA.png, is an Escutcheon? -- Aqua 22:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
How is "escutcheon" pronounced? Could someone please put the pronunciation in the article with IPA? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.214.134.233 ( talk) 22:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
In the figure, the escutcheon nº 11 is from Spain. The Portuguese escutcheon is quite different. An extra note for the author of the page: Portugal and Spain are two independent and distinct countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.90.205.238 ( talk) 14:58, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Please, replace the image with the "Brazilian escutcheon"; there is no such a thing in heraldry. This kind of shield is just used by Brazilian Football Confederation and, maybe, by some soccer teams . Giro720 ( talk) 19:12, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
What's the difference between inescutcheons "as a choice of heraldic style" and inescutcheons "as simple common charges"? — Tamfang ( talk) 17:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
The word style suggests that a painter could legitimately replace the escutcheons with roundels or billets or lozenges, since these serve equally well to "fimbriate". The escutcheons in the example shown are not only backgrounds for the crowns but also common charges chosen for the significance of their shape – if I may presume that the Swedish Heraldry Collegium has a particular interest in escutcheons. I would incorporate the "fimbriation" notion into the section As common charges. — Tamfang ( talk) 19:31, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Except it isn't, is it? The inescutcheon is for Norway, and the griffin of Pomerania is the fourth quarter. Better examples would be William III of England (with Nassau surtout) or the Capetian kings of Spain. — Tamfang ( talk) 18:25, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
If the base is 0 and the chief is 1, the fess point is 1/2, the honour point is 3/4, and this line defines the nombril as 3/8 or 1/4. Does that mean it's flexible? — Tamfang ( talk) 04:09, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
