Normandy Battlefield relics ... lockdown loft discovery from my old collection
Well these went up into the loft about 30 yrs ago and haven’t been out since . To be honest I totally forgot about them . All were recovered in Normandy in the late 1980s.
I thought it nice to post a picture of them all together before I let them go As they will all be looking for a new owner here in England . Happy collecting folks
1911 not 1911-A1 seems mixed parts? 1911 grips but 1911-A1 frame
Or? Star Model B?
Really neat items! I wonder how a uboat badge found its way to the soil of Normandy?
Wow. Really neat. Not much left of the SA sports badge (if that is what it is).

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

You should really send the pistol back to the US Govt. as it's their property...…………..
What would the US Govt. do with it? My guess would be destroy, so its better in collectors hands i think.
