Arbeit Adelt Plaque...A Big Thanks

**Rossi** · 08-24-2018, 12:25 AM

Today Mr. Ralph Boos gifted me with this from his collection. I was working away when the bell rang. Postman gave me the package and I was pleasantly shocked to find this inside. It displays well with my RAD items and means so very much to have Ralph send me it. Bob Coleman gifted me with a NSKK tie I had been searching for to complete my tunic . Tried to pay Bob but he would not take any money. He simply said I know you appreciate it and that is payment enough for me.

Ralph simply took the same approach when I asked what can I send you for it. Simply not needed he said and it will go nicely with your collection. It is pieces like this and gestures that bind us as collectors. I hope to pay it forward some day to another collector. I did send a Feisty Lydia Book and a Relic Trench Knife to a 15 year old boy who just got his first police tunic. It was a knife an old vet gave to me when I was in High School. He was very excited. I must say I felt the same today. Thank you Ralph. It was just what my day needed and I will cherish the item with a good memory of a great guy. Thanks for what you do here on WRF.

I am glad you are happy with it Kirk!

When I saw it, I knew it deserved to be in a collection like yours, the most extensive RAD collection I have seen to date.

Ralph.

Gorgeous plaque. You are a class act Rossi, so is Ralph. We are fortunate to have you both as members.
