I don't know about the rest you you but I'm always hearing "There's nothing left to find in primary sources!" Well I think the above pictures refute that belief at least for me. This horde, and more items I couldn't fit in the original picture, were purchased directly from a Vets widow a couple of months ago. All she could tell me is that her husband had stated he took the items out of some kind of store. That's probably accurate as the EK1s are all LDO 100s and the HJ buckles are unissued. She further stated that the items had been in their attic since they purchased their house in the late 40s. Obviously they had been "handled" to a degree as evidenced by the fact that some items were in the wrong boxes. BTW: The two non-LDO boxes originally housed War Merit Crosses 1st Class as that's what's pictured on the lids. Either the boxes well empty when found or the WMCs are lost to time. Anyway I thought the members here would enjoy seeing this and I want to thank Blitz for posting the pictures.
