I got a nice older drilling from a friend who had it handed to him by anold man heading to the turn in point.
Those piles were the source of most vet souveniers.

I grew up surrounded by WW1 and WW2 vets and heard lots of good stories about acquired loot.
I had a pretty good collection before I got out of high school.
I got a HSc my dad acquired somewhere.

It was interesting to me that the WW1 vets, including both my grandfathers brought very little back except their own stuff.

I snuck back a .45 I carried in RVN.
