The issue of whether an inescutcheon with a bordure is acceptable,
I'll leave to argue another day.

There's a solid conflict, however, and appearance of pretense with this one.
Campbell, Duke of Argyll - December of 1994 (via Laurel): Gyronny Or and sable.
      Important non-SCA arms

With one CD and with the version with the bordure a well-known coat
used by a cadet branch of the Campbells, this would very likely be
unregisterable.  Conflict for certain, pretense could be arguable
depending on the name she's using.
