We have H.R. Emperor Maximillian, a ME Russian, a Mongol and Tang all mounted with flags. We had two chances to get Vlad. Paul H. had him in WI twice. We saw him twice. Paul said, "If I was collecting, I'd get this." We didn't, so bugger. I'd like to see him in situ from the buyer though! Love...

Sounds interesting. A good idea for an X-Mas book gift.
