:lol: Well, ahm... yes. I love the plumage.... looks like roadkill. Other than that, if it were $15.88 instead of around $1,500, I might bid just for the shell. The "photo of proof" is also quite fun in a ](*,) sort of way.

The Wappen ("white" for the 1. or 3. GUR-Garde Ulanen Regiment) lost its Gardestern.
