manayunkman Posted September 10, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2012 I had no idea i was going to end up with this nice 11th A/B group. This call had nothing to do with militaria. As a matter of fact he thought he had given his stuff away a long time ago. But there it was hidden away for all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
