Wow. Great find, Bes. Thanks.

Now I need to find that book I bought on the 30 Years War and dig into it (no pun intended).

Thanks for posting. Interesting to see how well preserved everything is. Looks like the individual in picture 23 took a sword hit to the forearm (ulna) whilst defending himself.
