Nice stamps. I have read that if the American Eagle's head is turned towards the olive branch, then it is a posture of peace. If turned towards the arrows, of war.
That last one is a disturbing scene. The first eagle's wing feathers made me think of a fringed jacket.
Great mini collection - I think the only one I've seen before is the US stamp
