I regret the last time I was in Lithuania I didn't seek out the main museum in Vilnius.

I am usually on the coast, oddly enough by the Curonian spit, but I don't recall the museum there having anything particularly relevant.

Here pics sorry

Fernando ... please try the link again later, it worked for me ... but I have had the error you describe previously and a translation of the error message suggested that maybe the site is using a scripted interface in front of a database (as do these forums) and that the link between the two was malfunctioning (as sometimes happens here as well).

Drool - a very nice classic of Nordic type, type H I presume. Is there inlay or pattern-welding of the blade or covering decoration on the hilt?

Well Lee, actually it comes and goes; as it worked right after i 'reported' my difficulty and it is blocked again now.
But i will live with it .
