    USPS: Destroyer of artifacts

    That fault goes actually to the seller and person posting vs the Postal Service IMHO. With proper packing and care, you can prevent this kind of damage. Bubble wrap, a Ziplock® or other plastic waterproof baggie with some packing tape securing the package nicely, ensuring the medals won't...

    I too have always wondered about these and why they were termed "hate belts". But, this is the word that seems to depict these items. I like mine because it has both Allied and German insignia. Best Regards, JustinG

    Scored this 1897 officer Pickel with its case!

    Very nice. I would suggest finding something to cover/protect your rank soulderboards. Dust easily gets impregnated in these and a light vacuuming can help, but over time, the dust can detract and become very difficult to remove. Just From my own personal findings. There are Ryker cases much...

    Freezing?

    I would think that if you were to say put it into a garment bag and remove all the air/moisture and then insert it into a freezer, it would ensure that larvae or any other pests might be killed off. Depending how long you keep it in there for. That would be my suggestion. Vacuum seal it...

    Any fellow members here who enjoy a good Bier ?

    Well, That's a downer. Yes, I totally agree, there are several people who state that they avoid certain alcohol styles like specifically Tequilla because of a bad experience. Alcoholism is indeed a health risk and serious condition. Heck, Alcoholism can actually have death be a side effect...
