[Artemisia] Artemisia Digest, Vol 87, Issue 19

[L.J. Richards]

Check and see if this German museum/castle has a website, look for the name 
of the chief curator or curator of 'armour' (or appropriate name) and ask if 
you can get pictures and/or any information regarding madus and what would 
be the cost.  Explain that you are doing research on this particular type of 
weapons....Explain that you are doing research on this particular type of 
weapons....  If there is no charge, it's still nice to make a donation.

Can a local SCA person check with the museum re taking photos and gathering 
whatever info they have on these particular pieces.  Usually you can take 
photos of armour under certain circumstances (one depends on how much 
leather and surrounding materials are light sensitive).
