My restitution of the bracelet found more than 70 years after its passage in Alsace in 1945

Well done!

Wow.  That is outstanding!  

[stratasfan]

Wonderful story! Thanks so much for sharing! What a cool journey!

[rosieres64]

Outstanding!

[Mr.Jerry]

Very nice for you to do!

 

(I do need to mention that Mr. Fike is a bit of a "hot button" topic among collectors, although his intentions are well meaning, many of the "lost" medals he tries to return have been legally sold by the same families that he is trying to return them to...some to even be sold off again.)

Thanks for the info I don't know this man any more than through the internet

So does he buy the medals to return them to the family or does he pressure the owners into giving them up and sending them back to the family?

good question to follow the answers

[gerard]

I still wanted to go through his quarter I still have a lot of nominative documents for me it's just to have more information on it's parts

[gerard]

After thinking about it if it had to be done again I wouldn't do it again, no message from the family, it was my friend who brought it to the family as he was on vacation in the USA the thanks and gratitude were for my friend and more which had nothing to do with the find Mr. Fike, I sent a message to Mr. Fike not long ago for other identification for other dog tag plates that I had found in detection  he told me ask if Is it for a return to family? I'm already telling him to get some info then to see and for months no more news from Mr. Fike
