The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem, commonly called the Teutonic Order, is a German medieval military order, and in modern times a purely religious Catholic order. It was formed to aid Christians on their pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to establish hospitals. Its members have commonly been known as the Teutonic Knights, since they also served as a crusading military order in the Middle Ages. Here is an image of a stamp depicting the seal of Col. Spittler (hospitaler, 1400) and the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order (1982), designed by German graphic artist Fritz Lüdtke, printed by lithography, and issued by Germany on February 15, 1990 to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the order, Scott No. 1595, Michel No. 1451, plus an image of the order''s coat of arms.

Regarding British Honduras, I note that when Guyana adapted the coat of arms, they went from a 1-man saw to a 2-man saw, as by that time, all the easy trees had been cut down.
