I picked this junky thing up a while ago. It was only a couple bucks, I think $8 with shipping, on Ebay, & listed as of Theodosius II;...
I agree. The wear & crust is part of the story (to a point). Plus, lower standards expands what you can afford. Every now & then I get a chance to...
Nice, good find. Gotta ask what it cost you though? I won't stain your post with a pic of my Victor; you can tell it's him, that's about all I can...
