Thanks; and I'm glad you like the flags I've posted.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />David.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-76914657964587204852009-12-29T05:25:00.820+00:002009-12-29T05:25:00.820+00:00David,

Otherwise, no idea.<br /><br />BTW - Check out the blog at warsoflouisxiv.blogspot.com for some work that we've done on late 17th century colours. I like the work done on yours very much and would be glad to discuss some of the more unusal and obscure ones with you.<br /><br />BillSir William the Agedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503300059802446520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-4056277988859217742009-12-26T04:10:50.498+00:002009-12-26T04:10:50.498+00:00Thanks, AJ, and to you and yours!
