Dragon Slayer

 Dragons need to be slain and who better than a warrior with a sword. Arrows are to easy, you can just take pot shots as they fly overhead and hide with every blast of fire behind a rock. It takes a real man to march out with just a shield and sword to slay one on the ground. Kind of looks like a toddler dragon though, well perhaps slaying dragons on the ground can only be done with young ones that can't fly yet.

 This is Latvia #'s 64,65 and 67 in my book. 64 and 65 issued in 1919 and 67 in 1920.

Guardian Dragon

This is one of the four mythical guardians of Iceland which are represented on the coat of arms of Iceland. Another nice find!! The other guardians along with this were released in other sets, the first in 1987 but this dragon design was released alone in 1989 and just happens to have the highest value amongst all the other releases. Dragon #677
