    I've got my grandfather's 16 gauge double barreled shotgun made in Germany forever ago. Likely I'll sell it someday as I have no kinders.

      We used to have my great-great-grandfather's ACW CMoH. We donated it to a museum.

          My brother was in Berlin shortly after the wall fell and took a piece with him - there's even some paint on it. Now my father-in-law got it because he has such an "Ostalgy".

              It's a pictogram of Etchy walking across the street.

                  Cool. But you didn't collect a chunk?

                    That's impressive.

                        One of my ancestors on my Mom's side was a standard bearer for Lachit Borphukan at the Battle of Saraighat. We still have the cloth from one of his standards in our family.

                          I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                                Grandpa Monk's sabotage handbook from WWII. Various nights in forty-something, Grandpa and fellow freedom fighters went to the woods to collect weapons and ammunition for the resistance. Somewhere along the way he picked up that precious manual and kept it for decades.

                                He's not all too good at expressing his feelings of love in words, so he gave me the thing knowing full well that I'd understand the significance. He never gave anything of the sort to his own children, because they wouldn't have appreciated it the way I do.
