    stray arrow

    any chance of a full rev as his feathers show quite the break too

    that die was struggling to stay in one piece looking at it

    interesting and sweet

    Break is a hairline that starts at the "Q" runs up the wing edge into "EP" then picks up again
    at the upper part of the left wing and runs down to about 2 o'clock.
    I'l try to get pic's of both sides.

    Also just noticed a small die fill at the bottom of the bust next to Georges braid.
