That one is way cool. It would look good on a pole in your driveway.

Awesome.

It looks to me like he is barring the doorway, to keep people out. I think it's a "No Parking" sign Thanks for sharing, it's another wonderful piece!!

Hmmm, I wonder if the raised shield means it was covered parking?

I think he forgot to zip-up, his wee-wee is showing!

Askari

It's a cod piece, ya' dirty-minded olde bagge of bones!

For a brief moment I thought they actually made Wartburgs back then.

I can see you're on a roll, Cacheman, keep it up

Philip is right; Wartburg is the Detroit of East Germany!!! They produced Wartburg cars there until VW bought them out following the falling of the Wall.

Isn't the Wartburg castle famous for housing some important monk or clergyman a few centuries ago?
