TacHel Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 IMHO, such a small representation might've been worn on the chest or sticking out of the boutonnière by a non Russian who probably had Orders from his own country that had precedence. The Duke of Brunswick's minis are simply breathtaking! Where on Earth do you get these incredible pictures from??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
