Makes me wonder about the relationship between the grandson and his grandfather... If I were lucky enough to have received a war trophy that had been brought back by my grandfather, it would never leave my possession... until I was no longer breathing and I would make sure that some decendent who cared about not only history, but family history would be the heir to it... but that's just me.
I can't imagine turning a family heirloom into a fast buck, that once it was gone, there would be nothing to show for it...
