Really I hope you can just get the helm, everyone should own something from the Wombat. He does such great work, I just don't understand why he does people like he does.

Nice try, MD. While I have four bookcases full of books on art, artifacts and history, I don't seem to have any books that cover this particular topic. So, lacking a handy reference, I thought I'd try posting here to start. I feel reasonably confident that there are folks here that have done the sa...
