Hi Arjan
you have to ; - present your pics after an horzontal rotation to be readable - found a translator in "farsi" because if the alphabet is arabic, not the language, and by that way, the inscriptions are not islamic sorry if nothing more to help  regards à + Dom Last edited by Dom; 6th December 2007 at 01:50 AM. |

Yep, the textile is under the stars and the nails.
I only know 1 shield with the textile still there and that is in the 'Legermuseum' in Delft. Sadly their website does not have any pictures. |
