Stolen collection in Portland OR
Gentelmen,
My cousin has informed me that his entire collection of Third Reich items was taken and sold for drugs by a close relative. There was enough stuff to cover a bed sheet which is what he had it on. There was also several US swords belonging to my family, Civil War and WWII. These item we taken in the Portland Oregon USA area and can be identified easily. If anyone has heard of a large collection being offered or sold please let me know.
Thanks
Burt

Hello Burt, I am very sorry to hear this. Have you got any photos of his collection so people know what to look for as it may appear online. I hope your cousin gets it all back.
Thanks, Glen.

Burt have the police been notified. Other then that I would check every pawn shop in the area they have to keep a record of what was taken in and held . Good luck . Gary

Thanks folks, Ill see if he has any pictures. It was an incredible collection. An entire foot locker full of TR items from every branch, lot's of SS and Afrika Corps stuff too. It's too big for someone not to notice it being sold. So hopefully word of mouth will get at least some of it back.
Thanks
Burt
