I've never been one for paintings or sculptures but, I like that I've always had a thing for Dobermans - I don't think they look right with a long tail though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To me, that's the history and interest, I'd just give it a light clean and polish Cheers. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would just give it a light clean and have it in my man cave with my "Spirit Of Saint Louis" radio sitting on top; Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
