Nations
I am putting this here because I can't post new threads. I use the coats of arms for nations. I know that you are very rarely at the nation screen, so not many people will have an interest in this, but some of the coats are very interesting. The following is an example of one that I use. If anyone is interested in this minutiae I can zip them up for you.

Jofre Can You ID This Photo?
Jofre and other history buffs, try your hand at identifiying the other guy in this photo. They're in a ring in an outdoor arena, probably set up for Wills. I don't see palm trees. Wills is not a kid and he's not old. I'm thinking the Firpo fight or earlier. If the white guy is one of his sparring partners, is Wills getting ready to fight some big guy like Willard or Firpo or Fred Fulton? Looks like a publicity still as they're not wearing headgear.
Cap P.S. One chap has suggested it may be Andre Anderson. I think Anderson was blonde though. P.P.S. Latest concensus is that Wills' opponent in the attached photo is Jack McAuliffe of Canada.
