Hallo Gents Mahogany, Walnut or Rosewood are ok for use. Oak or Cedar contain a natural resign which can tarnish your collection. In general when any wood is used it should be well seasoned and dried. Tropical hardwood, such as Mahogany are least harmful. The effect of the glue used in wood making has to be taken into account as well. Any with a Polyvinal Acetate Emulsion are best avoided!. Kevin in Deva. -

Sad remains of a Lend-Lease Sherman used by the Russians and in the Romanian Military Musuem in Bucharest. The Romanian Military confiscated it but not before it was cut into pieces for scrap About 1/3 remains. Kevin in Deva

Hallo Marder If, for example the person was 22 during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 / 71, he would have been 22 years old in 1870. 32 years old in 1880. 42 years old in 1890. 52 years old in 1900. 62 years old in 1910. (Uniform in the picture has been identified as a Model 1910 by Rick). The gentleman in the picture does not look to be 62 years old. You state that Heinrich Schmidt was born on 29.11.1848 in 1870 he would have been aproxamatly 22 years old. Is it possible the picture is of a relative to Heinrich Schmidt ?? If Heinrich Schmidt left Prussia for Brazil in after 1879 how could he wear a Prussian uniform in 1910?? Mfg Kevin in Deva.
