Theft of Civil War Relics;
« on: January 11, 2012, 11:27:07 PM »
To all,
Jack Wells asked me to post this warning of a teft of ACW relics.  There may be an attempt to sell them at relic and gun shows.

This film is clear enough you would think someone would recognize him unless the beard, etc. wasn't real.  I wonder how the counter attendant didn't notice the big square bulge from the case in the front of his jacket?
Best,
Carl

I still say he looks like Wolf Blitzer. LOL.

    I truly wish someone had put out a list of the plates stolen, and pictures too, as damage on plates can be very distinctive and give them a 'fingerprint'.
     But it is probably too late now, but hopefully they will show up and get returned.

    Does anybody have contact with the museum that we can ask for photo's of the plates to pass around ??
