Dankesehr!Ich habe alleine 12 Miniaturen und mache fast alles selbst. Es waere sehr schoen wenn man etwas Hilfe bekommen koennte auch mit Lorenz helmschied Rüstung,Thomas Becket schwert und den Shakespeare Manuskripten .....Aber es geht auch allein. In den vielen jahren gewoehnt man sich daran dass Experten einer Privatperson nicht unbedingt zur Erhaltung wichtiger Dokumente behilflich sein moechten.
Aber Dankesehr!
