Robin Lumsden Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 It pays to look outside the 'militaria' sections on eBay.This was 'hidden' among the 'pre-1800 etchings' stuff.......a hand-coloured portrait of a Black Hussar from the time of Frederick the Great. Curiously, look at the spelling of 'Todtenkopf'.A nice little thing, for under 40 Euros.
Daniel Murphy Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 He looks like Genghis Khan. Perhaps the Colonel in Chief? Just kidding. Nice print and interesting how the word evolved over the centuries. Dan Murphy
Robin Lumsden Posted April 3, 2006 Author Posted April 3, 2006 Here's another, picked up on eBay today.He's from 1918 though, and a bit 'less serious'!Postcard is stamped for Danzig-Langfuhr!
