“yeah... my reaction too.”
I feel the same about never finding my old man’s Ka-Bar. OTOH, he was most likely bombed off his ass when he told me, so I can’t say if it ever was actually in the house.
I would probably sell the stuff I have. I really don’t like having Nazi regalia in my home. IIRC, I think there are a couple pocket watches in that stash too.
If you (or anyone reading this) knows of a good appraiser, PM me.
I’d imagine you can find one in Shotgun News.
It’s a monthly publication, and they have ads for buyers and sellers in there all the time.
I keep the stuff my old man brought back because HE personally took it; I don’t have much left from him, but that is a treasure horde to me.
It’s a reminder of a time we actually identified and kicked the enemy’s ass... instead of pretending they’re our friends.
