For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.In Chambers, 'peen' is an alt spelling of 'pean (3)' - part of a hammer // to work with a hammer - but not of 'pean (2)', the heraldic fur.
To further complicate matters 'peen' is also an alt sp. of 'pane' and 'pane (2)' is given as an alt sp. of the fur, 'pean (2'). However, the single entry for 'peen' (which includes all of the alt spellings ''...pean, pein, pene or pane'' doesn't refer to the fur at all, so the cross-reference from 'pane (2)' just takes us back to the hammer.
So, it looks like it could be a mistake on Azed's part (but I wouldn't bet on it}.
