Guest Rick Research Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I used Hardy's in the In Wear Gallery since he had a straight one clear closeup of the ribbon bar. I didn't have that when yours passed through here from Evil Ricky.So had never realized before that F?rstenau was the FIRST Saint Henry knight of World War One!
