These with the K.B letters on reverse below each sword are very hard to find in decent quality and command a premium. I have a couple and will continue to look for others in such quality given their growing scarcity. Report this Post to the Staff

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 03/05/2009 07:04 am That kind of lower jaw or lower lip was one of the things the Habsburg family was famous for. Oh well, royal inbreeding sometimes has such results. Guess Leopold would have been a great occasion to go away from profile portraits ... to half-profile maybe.
