I find it humorous how the Kedge anchor is portrayed on jewelry and clothing with the stock and arm on the same plane...

From the referenced source... Originally, the anchor jewelry meaning was not used by those on the water, but actually people on land! During the early years of Christianity, Christians were under heavy persecution by the Romans. To show their religion to other practicing Christians under the watchful eye of the ruling people, they would wear anchor jewelry or even tattoo anchors on themselves. The anchor was seen as a symbol of strength as anchors hold down ships even in the stormiest of weather. It was also a popular symbol because of its close resemblance to the cross. Anchors were also used to mark safe houses for those seeking refuge from persecution.
In relation to accurate jewellry - agree it's not accurate, but bloody uncomfortable to wear an accurate pendant and have the stock or arm digging into you when hugging your SO.
A good range of anchors, but where is the CQR? It's like a bruce but with an articulated shank.
Addendum, No not so much like a Bruce more like a plow.
