Hans,

If you can prove this is a close relative of yours, I'd happily give it to you for free.

Best regards,

Thanks, but absolutely no need, as I don't know the man or his immediate family. A cousin of my mother [a Gleixner] who she mentioned when talking about family losses during the war. I don'think she knew him either, just knew of him. Still think it's funny seeing a relative become a collectors item. Enjoy your trip to Germany.

Kind regards, - Hans
