How long would a pickled body stay identifiable?

Good question. Will ask my boss.

I've met this one, well pressed my face against his glass for a good hour or two. He's from 300 BC or so. He still has his eyelashes. Even this picture doesn't do the preservation justice. It looks like he fell asleep, save the rope on his neck.

I was reading the wiki for Tollund man yesterday, and I believe they actually took a fingerprint from him.

That's pretty identifiable, I think
