We found it in the house. That belonged to my dad's cousin. And he was a veteran of World War 1. So that gives you an idea of his age and when he passed away. My brother. Had an interest in it and so we got to take it home. Well the maker of this I think is great because he did a combination of all different periods here as you see you've got this oval Victorian mirror here and here you have all these horns you've got a boar's tusk right here. And what we call the butt of the deer horn where they used to carve and make these wonderful ladies broaches that they would wear. So it's a combination of all these things coming together. Western collectors really love these. And I think we could come up with an auction fair market value about a thousand low 15:00. Yeah. I'm. OK this is great this is great.

Description
Description
Washington Post correspondent Thomas E. Ricks discusses his newly in paperback exploration of the Iraq war, The Gamble: General Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq.Now updated to fully document the inside story of the Iraq war since late 2005, The Gamble is the definitive account of the insurgency within the US military that led to a radical shift in America's strategy. Based on unprecedented real-time access to the military's entire chain of command, Ricks examines the events that took place as the military was forced to reckon with itself, the surge was launched, and a very different war began. His conclusion, stated in the last line of the book, is that "the events for which the Iraq war will be remembered probably have not yet happened."
