Dear Ed & Ron: Thanks for the thoughts and advice. About the German soldier's piece, I inherited from my father. He was in Patton's tank corps. At the "Battle of the Bulge" he ambushed a German fleeing staff car. That's all hearsay. My father is dead. So too his tank crew, I'd assume. No way of verifying. War time chaos. Anything could have happened. But the German soldier's next of kin probably have a better claim to "owning it" as part of his estate than I do. I was thinking they may want it. That may be wrong. A stigma would attach to a Waffen SS Officer's piece. Some things are better left alone.
