Guest Darrell Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thanks for showing Grant. They are great I also have an uncle's stuff. Among them some medals he brought back (German / Italian). Some of them including an SS BL stickpin can bring some pretty hefty sums of money. I will not sell them due to the heirloom that they represent to me.
