    Beautiful

    Though I am lacking my referances from the office, I can alreday pin point that this was an elite Palace Guarde [do not now the name by heart sorry], the first thing that makes it noticable is the cream/yellow leather shoes and also the copper/brass helmet [not sure if golden gilded as well] he is wearing. He is not a Janissary as many might be thinking. Probably a bit later than the 1565 period.

    As these were normally a corp with the role of bodyguarding the Ottoman King, probbaly they never made it to our shores but were in Vienna etc, as in Malta he only send his nephew and trusted generals. BUT with some minor surgery can easily be updated to a janissary, though not a simple operation and would like to research more as I guess some form of elite bodyguards these topbrass surely had in Malta.

    In sicily I would like to give Maurizio some info about our Siege hopefully he woiuld come with something interested and by the way he was very interested to come over Malta ...

    For the time being I'll let this one pass by then.......as for a Janissary I would stick with the Poste Militaire's offering courtesy of Julian Hullis.........

    Yes that would be interesting to get Maurizio moving in producing a Maltese subject Vanni and also to get him over to our shores cheers

    Some historical fact on this figure, it is a Peyk, a messenger of the Sultan. Probably a kind of ADC, his typical attire was very rich and headress and weaponry were gold gilded, marking hi as a Peyk. These guys were the personal messengers of the Sultan.

    Duringr the Siege of Malta, probably one these went to Tripoli to instruct Dragut to give a helping hand but till date nothing came to light of messengers coming over to Malta from Costantinapoli during the Siege. What we know till date was that from Malta messengers were sent to the Sultan with the news that St Elmo had fallen and probably the death of Dragut. No clue yet if these messengers were part of the entourage of officers and high ranking topbrass in the Ottoman army.

    Makes me wonder that how much was written about the 1565 Siege and yet we still do not know enough of it ...

    Never enough I think so that the Turks will not dare say that it never happened Evil or Very Mad

    Which brings me to sadly remember that the same Europe that we saved or helped to save in 1565, has ruled out that the Cross should be abolished. But how dare they decide for me, all in the name of liberty of expression????

    I have nothing against the above "enemy" (anzi I have the greatest respect) as they were a formidable force and fought for what they believd in, a great culture in their own right and which/who definitely left their mark on every aspect of society, but to be betrayed by your own Europe, the Great Europe which was/is the light like Rome was the light in its heyday is too much of a wound!!!

    Anyway ha nkompli pale
