Hi there
I'm a bookseller in Santa Maria, CA and I just came into a sketch by Oscar Merte of the German Cavalry that is signed by General der Kavallerie Franz Maria Freiherr von Dakwigk zu Lichtenfels. I must admit I don't have too much detail about it, and you were one of the few people that came up when searching under his name. Obviously we're looking to sell it as well, but do you know any history concerning why a sketch like this would have been done, why it was signed by military personnel, etc? There's also a signature in pencil from Captain Henshiheimur. It was done in 1932, and though the sketch appears to be a copy, the signatures are real. Any info you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Unfortunately this site is not allowing me to upload any images, but I can send you something separately if you wish.
Thank you!
