They could be anything from late Napoleonic times to well into the 20th century, for mine. I don't know whether this was deliberate, if so, they have been cleverly done. Probably they were intended for a specific time period, but I think you will agree, upon reflection, they look very versatile!<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-15878796812842621732012-09-21T13:19:37.264+01:002012-09-21T13:19:37.264+01:00Seems like a good time to mention the new power in...Seems like a good time to mention the new power in the region. . . . . oh yes, be afraid. Be very afraid. Sabres are being rattled and soon the mighty forces of "Svenhassellstein" will be on the march. <br /><br />The very thought of Svenhasellstein and it's dark capital "Mump" makes even the Vulgarians feel a cold shudder run down their spines.
