Pip Posted August 18, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 18, 2019 I originally thought all of these items were for Jame P Mause 8th USAAF POW but after the aucton after more research I found out that the estate actually held the collection of his older brother John D Mause Pilot for the RAF and USAAF during WWII. I collect paper for the most part and saw the diary and other booklet so knew I was going to bid on them and wanted to pick up other items to group with the diary. The diary turns out is for his brother and some of the other items. Trying to determine whether to break up the group into two groupings or one brothers father group. Here are the first photos. There is some type of staining on the back of the jacket im guessing you should not wash old uniforms like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
