USPS: Destroyer of artifacts

Hello all!

I come with some somber nes regarding a piece had recently acquired and since returned.

A few weeks ago I came across an item that I had been searching for, for quite some time.
That piece being a large place medal bar. I’ve always loved large bars, lots of history and story to them.

The one in particular I found was an Austrian 11 place medal bar pictured here:

I purchased this piece for a total of $630 on Griffen militaria whom I’ve had gray interaction with and have bought from plenty of times! I was incredibly excited to get the piece!

Unfortunately,

On the 30th of last month I receive the package, I open it up and to my horror I find this:

Two of the medals have broken from the bar!

At first I assumed it was due to poor packaging but I again looked at the box and saw damage to the exterior.

I contacted Griffen and let him know. I sent the package back on the 1st and am waiting for the refund coming this weekend.

It saddens me to see a piece like this destroyed, especially one that I have been searching for like this.

If anyone has a lead on a bar like this roughly in the $1000 range, let me know! I’m highly interested.

All in all, I’m quite upset and saddened but happy I’m getting a refund. I hope you are all well and I wish you all the best!
