As a comment to a post under the Aircraft title I mentioned this item. I thiught this might be a more appropriate place to ask.
A friend gave me the following as a gift about 12 years ago: A Drawing of H. von B. Marconnays U10, with a brief history of the capture etc printed below. This includes a piece of Fabric from the Original Aircraft( approx.1&1/4 inch by 2") fabric is Very dark,Maybe DARK Green orDARK Violet! Hard to tell. This is about a 20" by 30" overall presentation. It is accompanied by a Letter from the Smithsonian. Is it real? Worth anything? RAGIII

The Smithsonian put out a number of these to raise money when they were restoring aircraft. Similar posters were done for a DH-4, an Albatros and some others. I have seen them sell on ebay from $50 to $150. It's always nice to have an original piece of history.
