doyler Posted November 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2018 This was found in a house clean out a couple years ago. One of the guys hired to clean out the house said he and a friend were hired to clean out a house so it could be sold.There were 5 levels basement to attic.THe place had been in the same family for 100 years.They were told anything left in the house they could have to sell for payment for the work they did. I had been told the WW2 stuff came from a family member that was an officer in the Navy.They found both german and japanese items.I wasnt able to see an of the other stuff as they had already sold it...the Luger,35 swords or knives they said and other items.I managed to get a couple other items.
