I looked for other heraldic hawks, but I'm still not too convinced: http://www.fleurdelis.com/falcons.htm
The shields seem to bear a (weavy?) bend across them with some kind of buckle in the centre....

I think the central "knob" is supposed to be what is called a Shield Boss in English, even though those are more common with round shield. I think the bend you mention is just a shadow effect.

I used some free software online. I can see if I find the link when I get home. In some cases, the symbols on the coasts were taken from other places/modified by me.
