Value of a uniform top???
 
Ok I have been getting the feeling that a family member wants my grandpa's uniform jacket....to sellit. I do not think it has alot of monetary value. I soooo don't want him to have it...ughhh....

Does anyone have an idea of how much they are worth? If it were up to me it could NEVER be sold.

So don't give it to him. It is priceless to you.

DL,
Its not like his.....I posted a picture of it in the WWII room.

Got an idea!
 
Melody,

Go to an Army Surplus store and get one. Give it to your relatives and keep grandfathers.

They'll never know the difference.

Keith :D

Just thinking, thats what I get for thinking.

Melody tell them to takea long hike off a short pier. Anyone that would want to sell that jacket is on drugs. It's unbfnlieveable how little some people value the history and life of those that should be considered national treasures.

Thanks everyone. My mom and me are the primary caregivers for my grandparents. I clean for them mostly and do pretty much anything they ask. Usually cutting wood and stacking it and kitchen stuff. The other family doesn't do much of anything. This certain family member I think wants to sell it also wants to use my grandpa's pictures to make money. My grandpa has tons of pics he took during WWII including alot of color ones that are fantastic. This family member loves to get the "glory" from the service of my grandpa and uncle.
Thank ya'll again! I will do everything I can to keep his grimy hands off of them!
