USCapturephotos Posted August 15, 2021 Share #26 Posted August 15, 2021 What an amazing group! I know a still living WW2 vet who shipped his souvenirs back in a 10 and 1 ration box. I also love the response from the vets wife....classic. Can I ask where you saw that? Was it in a letter from the wife? Hope you got that as well. Seems like the 3rd armored loved to sign flags as I have one and have seen several others. Any idea what you’ll do with everything? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixbayonets! Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share #28 Posted August 15, 2021 Thanks again, Paul - unfortunately I do not have the letter with the jewelry response from his wife. That was told by the veterans son, he remembered his Father saying that abut the bring back box. I am going to keep this lot in my collection. One day I hope to have a display case dedicated to just bring backs, this lot would look great displayed with the ration box on the bottom shelf.

The only thing I am going to part with are some of the helmet decals, I don't think I need 200 of them. That’s awesome! definitely a time capsule that deserves to be kept as is.

sundance Posted August 16, 2021 Share #44 Posted August 16, 2021 Great haul. What do you believe the flag-like item with the swastika and the fringe? I had one offered to me and it has that same orangish rather than red field. The person offering it to me thought it was a podium banner. What do you believe it is?
