I´m a bit late, but this is a very interesting topic.
I can add a picture of a Madsen gun pictured during a demonstration in 1929. It must have been a sales pitch to Brazil and Estonia since both countries have send their chargé d' affairs.

This urine colour-wheel from around 1400-1500 is from the present exhibition in the Danish national library. Some of it seems legit, but I am not sure I want to know which alignment turns urine green or black🙈

Arg… this made me go into a rabbit hole.
The US allow corn syrup in their canned w c! I don't think that is allowed in the EU. And it would have to be marked GMO if containig any GMO corn (which. I think, all US corn syrup do).
I generally like EU food standards!

Opinion: Buying books - is what I personally think is the worst impact of Breixit! Or rather, not buying books.
I used to order my books in my favorit british bookstores. Now it is rather impossible due to import taxes and exorbiant fees.
Ps. Read this as a slightly ironic, personal, opinion.

Doing that write-up of the small production of a special bayonet. Easy, short, well rounded.
Well: now I am chasing 13 prod. types, archivalia of several countries, obscure letters to even more obscure weapon dealers.
Wish somebody paid me to do this…

Just making a quick write-up of a relatively easy subject.
Expectation: A few thousand rifles exported to one country.
Reality: 12 (twelve) different models probably exported to three different countries.
Well, easy is boring.

Dried corn husks?
This is a question to #history or #folklore
Why would winefarmers in S. #France hang dried corn husks from beams? These have been hanging here since the house was abandoned in early 1950s - or earlier.
Were they for practical use? Stored during WWII? Superstitution?

From the last time I was in Ukraine. 1998, many years ago. I met a really nice family in thetrain, I often wonder what happened to the little girl I met 27 years ago.

Back from (what should have been) vacation. A a big box of trouble/wonderful work.
Loads (more than can be seen here) of papers, mostly official stuff but also correspondance, from WWI. Invitations and what seems to be tax papers. Mostly from 1890 - 1918.

I find that good questions can be asked about voids in the text🌚 What is missing and why is it missing, can lead to new questions.
But only after reading lots and lots of documents, texts and b📚
