Hello Igor,
I found a Col. John Mackenzie who participated in the Napoleonic Wars but no info on awards or battles. I'll keep searching...

Hello Chris,
I tried my best to hold on to all of them. The framing is done by a guy that does it dirt cheap. He owns a little shop up the road from two big hobby stores that's driving his prices down. Good for me bad for him. I had a picture framed at one of the hobby stores 'Blue Dog' and it cost 5X more and had to wait 4 weeks. This guy has it done the next day. Here is the 'Blue Dog' and I just noticed taking this picture that the print has slid down...
thanks,

Thanks,
I almost stopped collecting when one day I looked around and found that I didn't want 95% of what I had. Most of it Third Reich which I will never collect again. It took me three years to unload all that crap and I learned a valuable lesson(Quality over Quantity). I only kept a few items that were original and that I could unload quick. I also lost alot of money on Third Reich fakes. I did the same thing with my Imperial German stuff and only kept a few nice items. I still go through withdrawls seeing items I think I can't live without but I don't buy them. I finally feel good about collecting again with just collecting Napoleonic prints and documents. Collecting all three periods is just to much.
This lesson reminds me of a lesson I learned in college. I was dating three girls at the same time one every night of the week. I would go out every night and get drunk and then go back to their apartment and fool around. I did this for around three months and one morning I woke up drunk and the girl wanted to fool around but I physically couldn't. I was 22 years old and this is not supposed to happen. I walked home and went into the bathroom and stared in the mirror. I had lost about 15 pounds and was pale as a ghost. Thats when my friend walked in a told me you look like hell and you need to pick one of them and let the other two go. This coming from someone who was more messed up than me. That is what I did and I never felt better and she was gorgeous. Didn't last long though because I found a new one when I went to the Bahamas.
The painting is by John Meeks. I'll try and post some good picks of the documents in the Napoleonic Section.
thanks,
barry

Hello,
I know that most Napoleonic items are very expensive, but Napoleonic prints are one way one can collect and not take alot out of the wallet. The prints range in time around 1830-1900 with some black and white while other are hand colored with a price between $20-$50. They can be battle scenes or portraits. I find them to be one of the best ways to collect from this period. Anyway here are some I have...
