Ross K had a great TK ring with a wonderful thick file to the gentleman. SS man's wife is still alive in a nursing home and his kids sold the ring, Knights Cross, and some documents to help pay some bills for their mom's care. I sen two more, one in a box, the other has been at the show for 3 years now. It even has COA from Don. I've never priced it.

I seen some fake SS enamels that was there last year. Other typical SS style fakes. Some fantasy.

But I did see 2 luft rings that I believed to be real.

Plenty of USA military rings was there.

It's always a hunt in there with 1900 10ft tables. A man just has to be in the right place at the right time.

Cheers,

Is it the thrill of the hunt you looking for?

I read a book recently about two GI's who found something in WWII fighting in the "Battle of the Bulge" that you might like to read.

You won't be disappointed either.

The book and History Channel Documentary are title:
Blood from a Stone.

Here is a link to the History Channel's Documentary: (YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED EITHER)

http://www.kabecornell.com/pages/blood-stone.html

Ps:
Apparently this is a small intro to the actual Documentary, I'm trying to find the complete Documentary to view.
