I totally agree. That's what sold me on that Teutonic Order piece. The dude with the big two-handed sword standing next to a lion on the obverse...
I love stings like that, where the bad guys get what's coming to 'em, and the good guys triumph through cleverness. I'm a sucker for some of...
It's only a small gesture of sympathy, but pick an item out here and it's yours. (Edit: pick an item out of MY stuff, that is. I can't give you...
