In general, the end of a charge that is to chief when the charge is palewise will be to dexter when the same charge is placed fesswise (as if rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise). A ''sword fesswise//, for example, has its point to dexter, and an //arrow fesswise// has its feathers to dexter. The most common exception is the //(quill) pen'': when palewise, it has its nib to base, but when it is fesswise, the nib is to dexter.
